Recurrent In Situ Melanoma Successfully Treated with Ingenol Mebutate

Abstract: BackgroundTreatment options for melanoma in situ (MIS) include imiquimod, radiation therapy, cryotherapy, excisional and Mohs surgery. Ingenol mebutate is a new topical treatment option recognized for actinic keratosis. Although in vitro effectiveness has been demonstrated on melanoma cell lines, its therapeutic potential for in vivo melanomas is unknown.Case ReportIn 2011, a 91-year-old woman presented a thick melanoma of her cheek. The lateral sections revealed persisting in situ melanoma, which were again e… Show more

“…In addition to its approved use, ingenol mebutate has emerged in the last years as an efficient topical agent for the treatment of Bowen's disease [11] , superficial basal cell carcinoma [12] and molluscum contagiosum [13] . To date, there is only one report on successful treatment of recurrent melanoma in situ with ingenol mebutate (0.015% for 3 days) at 6 months of follow-up [5] .…”

“…Surgical excision employing safety margins (usually micrographically controlled) remains the first-line therapy for this pathology. Recently, a new topical treatment with ingenol mebutate (0.015% gel) has been described to be efficacious and well tolerated in the treatment of melanoma in situ [5] .…”

“…In a randomized, vehicle‐controlled, Phase 2a study conducted on 60 patients with superficial BCC, when IM 0.05% was given on two consecutive days a complete lesion clearance rate of 63% was observed 85 days posttreatment. Additionally, IM 0.015% was effective for in situ melanoma in a 91‐year‐old woman who had a melanoma on the cheek . A complete clinical resolution was observed and histology and immunohistology revealed no residual melanoma one month posttreatment.…”
