Imiquimod

Imiquimod Reactions 1704, p193 - 2 Jun 2018 Cutaneous metastatic melanoma: case report A 67-year-old man developed cutaneous metastatic melanoma following treatment with imiquimod [dosage, time to reaction onset and outcome not stated]. The man presented with a two months history of multiple cutaneous deposits, which appeared shortly following application of imiquimod for presumed actinic keratoses to the forearms. Examination revealed a widespread eruption of dark brown, purpuric papules scattered over the trunk, face and lower limbs. Later, he was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma with a positive BRAF V600E mutation. Positron emission tomography scan revealed no definitive visceral metastasis or primary cutaneous melanoma. Author comment: "Paradoxically, there are emerging case reports of the development of keratoacanthomas and infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma at sites of previous imiquimod application." "To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of de novo cutaneous melanoma metastases following imiquimod application." Schauer A, et al.
