ABSTRACT

Bleomycin is a cytotoxic polipeptide mixture that traditionally has been used for the sistemic treatment of some cancers. Because of its high selectivity for epithelial cells it has been suggested its intralesional use for several cutaneous diseases.
We review the treatment of intralesional bleomycin in warts, keloids, Kapósi’s sarcoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, oral leukoplasia, hemangiomas and cystic hygromas. The results were good and promising, but further investigations are mandatory and intralesional bleomycin should not be prescribed as a rutinary method.
