  • Title: Laser therapy of bowenoid papulosis and Bowen's disease.
    Author: Landthaler M, Haina D, Brunner R, Waidelich W, Braun-Falco O.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1986 Dec; 12(12):1253-7. PubMed ID: 3782597.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with bowenoid papulosis and two patients with Bowen's disease of the genital area were treated by means of an argon, Nd:YAG, and CO2 laser. In all of the patients, complete resolution of the lesions was achieved. Due to a superficial coagulating effect, application of the argon laser should be restricted to macular and papular pigmented lesions. In contrast, Nd:YAG and CO2 lasers could be used even for treatment of extensive leukoplakia-like and verrucous lesions. Advantages and disadvantages of these two lasers are discussed.
