A 55-year-old woman with long history of sunbathing develops an erythematous, slightly raised, 2-cm patch of skin on her cheek. The involved area has a rough, very adherent, yellow-brown scale. The lesion is treated with twice daily application of 5-fluorouracil cream for a total of 4 one-week cycles alternated with no treatment weeks. During this treatment, the lesion and surrounding skin initially become markedly erythematous but then eventually heal without scarring. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Actinic keratosis
B. Basal cell carcinoma
C. Bowenoid papulosis
D. Keratoacanthoma
E. Malignant melanoma
