A patient with squamous cell carcinoma in-situ successfully treated with intralesional 5-Fluorouracil and topical trichloroacetic acid.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate a case of SCC successfully treated with intralesional 5-FU and topical Trichloroacetic acid. Additionally, the SCC in situ was successfully cleared in two treatment sessions with the lowest cumulative dose of 5-FU reported. Intralesional injections of 5-FU and subsequent topical Trichloroacetic acid may be an effective option for patients with SCC who are not eligible for cutaneous surgery.
