Eruptive squamous atypia (ESA), which is an idiopathic, sometimes koebnerizing, proliferation of atypical but well-differentiated keratinocytes (also termed eruptive keratoacanthoma), is often misdiagnosed as cancer and managed by excisional surgery, provoking further koebnerization. A clear definition of this phenomenon and treatment outcome data are lacking.
To define ESA and evaluate efficacy of intralesional (IL) 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment.
A retrospective cohort study examined patients with ESA that arose spontaneously or within a recent surgical scar and was treated with IL 5-FU at a tertiary academic center between January 2008 and December 2016. Complete clearance, partial clearance, and number of surgical excisions performed were tabulated.
Of 30 patients with 136 ESA lesions, 20 (67%) had resolution of ESA with IL 5-FU monotherapy. In all, 10 patients (33%) required additional therapy (topical 5-FU, steroids, cryotherapy, or acitretin). No IL 5-FU-treated ESA lesions required surgical excision. The number of excisional procedures decreased significantly (P = .006), with 27 patients (90%) needing fewer excisions 12 months after versus 12 months before initiation of IL 5-FU therapy. Dyspigmentation was the only adverse event.
Limitations include retrospective analysis and use of data from a single institution.
With close clinical monitoring, IL 5-FU can be used to successfully treat ESA.
爆发性鳞状异型(ESA)是一种特发性、有时可出现 Koebner 现象的、不典型但分化良好的角化细胞的增生(也称为爆发性角化棘皮瘤),常被误诊为癌症并通过手术切除进行治疗,从而导致进一步的 Koebner 现象。目前,对于这种现象缺乏明确的定义和治疗结果数据。
定义 ESA,并评估病灶内(IL)5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)治疗的疗效。
回顾性队列研究,分析了 2008 年 1 月至 2016 年 12 月期间在一家三级学术中心接受 IL 5-FU 治疗的自发性或近期手术瘢痕内出现的 ESA 患者。记录完全清除、部分清除和进行的手术切除次数。
30 例患者共 136 个 ESA 病变中,20 例(67%)患者接受 IL 5-FU 单一疗法治疗后 ESA 消退。共有 10 例患者(33%)需要额外的治疗(外用 5-FU、类固醇、冷冻疗法或阿维 A)。没有接受 IL 5-FU 治疗的 ESA 病变需要手术切除。接受 IL 5-FU 治疗的患者需要手术切除的次数显著减少(P =.006),与 IL 5-FU 治疗前相比,治疗后 12 个月有 27 例(90%)患者需要的手术切除次数更少。色素沉着异常是唯一的不良反应。
局限性包括回顾性分析和使用单机构的数据。
密切的临床监测下,IL 5-FU 可成功用于治疗 ESA。
