ERITROPLASIA DE QUEYRAT – TRATAMENTO COM LASER CO2

Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a rare in situ carcinoma of the uncircumcised man and its treatment depends on the extent and location of the lesion. We describe the case of a 68 years old patient, with clinical and histological diagnosis of Erythroplasia of Queyrat. Given the size and location of the lesion, preventing the surgical option, we performed the treatment with CO2 laser. The patient underwent a single session of laser therapy with complete resolution of the lesion. The authors aim with this paper is to remember this surgical technique in the effective treatment of Erythroplasia Queyrat. To date there are only four published studies reporting the use of CO2 laser in the treatment of this lesion. KEYWORDS – Erythroplasia; Lasers; Laser Therapy; Carbon Dioxide.
