Nonsurgical Treatment of Lentigo Maligna with Imiquimod and Cryotherapy: A Case Report
This case highlights the efficacy of imiquimod in combination with cryotherapy as a nonsurgical treatment option for LM, particularly in elderly patients or those unfit for surgery. Our approach offers a safe, viable alternative to excision, with minimal side effects, while underscoring the need for vigilant follow-up to monitor for recurrence.
