Bowen Disease in Himachal Valley - An Under-Recognised Entity
Keywords:
Bowen Disease, Pigmented, Atypical, Verrucous, Sun Exposed PartsAbstract
Bowen's disease is under-recognised, in situ - squamous cell carcinoma usually presenting as a single, well demarcated, slow growing erythematous patch or plaque with a scaly or crusted surface. It has a limited potential of invasion. It mainly occurs over the sun-exposed parts of the body (typical variant). Genitals, back, finger, trunk & thigh are the peculiar sites for pigmented, verrucous, atrophic & hyperkeratotic variants which are considered as atypical variants. A total of 3 patients (2 males and 1 female; average age: 57 years) were noted over a span of one year. Rarity, atypical variants and limited case series on Bowen disease in literature prompt us to report this interesting case series.
