We report 2 elderly patients with facial lentigo maligna who experienced complete regression, both clinically and histopathologically, after once-daily topical treatment with tazarotene 0.1% gel for 6 to 8 months. After a follow-up period of 18 and 30 months, no recurrence was observed. We believe that tazarotene might be considered as an alternative medical approach in selected patients with lentigo maligna.

Abstract

We report 2 elderly patients with facial lentigo maligna who experienced complete regression, both clinically and histopathologically, after once-daily topical treatment with tazarotene 0.1% gel for 6 to 8 months. After a follow-up period of 18 and 30 months, no recurrence was observed. We believe that tazarotene might be considered as an alternative medical approach in selected patients with lentigo maligna.
