La cheratosi attinica (CA) è una comune displasia cutanea dei cheratinociti che colpisce le sedi fotoesposte di soggetti di età adulta; un’area che presenta alterazioni subcliniche fotoindotte, simili a quelle riscontrate nelle CA, alla periferia di CA clinicamente visibili, è definita campo di cancerizzazione. Il trattamento del campo di cancerizzazione è maggiormente raccomandato rispetto al trattamento mirato alla singola lesione in quanto riesce a gestire il danno subclinico e a prevenire l’insorgenza di un eventuale carcinoma squamocellulare. Tra le terapie rivolte al campo, recentemente è stata introdotta tirbanibulina con meccanismo d’azione innovativo che determina apoptosi cellulare e conseguentemente una scarsa reazione infiammatoria locale. Presentiamo il caso di un paziente di 82 anni, noto per pregresse asportazioni di carcinomi squamocellulari al capo e attualmente affetto da ampio campo di cancerizzazione a livello della cute del naso e del cuoio capelluto cui abbiamo proposto un trattamento sequenziale con tre cicli di tirbanibulina in aree contigue. Il trattamento è stato ben tollerato e ha consentito di ottenere una clearance completa a livello del naso e > 95% a livello del cuoio capelluto, con una netta riduzione dell’Actinic Keratosis Area and Severity Index (AKASI) da 9,4 a 1,4

Abstract
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common cutaneous keratinocyte dysplasia characterized by the abnormal proliferation of atypical epidermal keratinocytes; an area that presents photoinduced subclinical changes, similar to those found in AKs, on the periphery of clinically visible AKs is defined as a field of cancerization. Its treatment, rather than a treatment aimed at the single lesion, is more recommended as it manages the subclinical damage and prevents the onset of a possible squamous cell carcinoma. Among the field therapies, tirbanibulin has recently been introduced with an innovative mechanism of action that determines cellular apoptosis and consequently a poor local inflammatory reaction. We present the case of an 82-year-old patient, known for previous removals of squamous cell carcinomas at the vertex and currently suffering from a large field of cancerization in the nose and scalp, to whom we proposed a sequential treatment with three cycles of tirbanibulin in contiguous areas. The treatment was well tolerated and allowed complete clearance to be obtained on the nose and > 95% on the scalp, with a reduction of the Actinic Keratosis Area and Severity Index (AKASI) from 9.4 to 1.4.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
