English abstract Erythroplasia of Queyrat is an in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the glans penis. Due to its unusual location, surgical treatment can cause mutilation. CO2 laser-assisted vaporization is a treatment option with excellent aesthetic and functional results, but it requires strict follow up owing to its high recurrence rates. The authors describe a case of erythroplasia of Queyrat treated with fractional CO2 laser, with an absence of recurrence during a one-year follow up
Portuguese abstract A eritroplasia de Queyrat é o carcinoma in situ da glande. Devido a sua localização peculiar, o tratamento cirúrgico pode ser mutilante. A vaporização com laser de CO2 é uma opção de tratamento com ótimos resultados cosméticos e funcionais, mas que exige acompanhamento regular devido à alta taxa de recorrência. Apresentamos um caso de eritroplasia de Queyrat tratada com laser fracionado de CO2, sem recidiva após acompanhamento de um ano
