Abstract
- Bowen's disease, one of squamous cell carcinoma in situ, typically presents as a discrete, slowly enlarging, pink to erythematous thin plaque with well-demarcated, irregular borders and overlying scale or crust. Several clinicohistopathologic variants have been illustrated to date, but there have never been reported to Bowen's disease manifesting with pedunculated tumor. Herein, we report an interesting presentation of pedunculated Bowen's disease on the right groin. In the resected tumor specimen, human papillomavirus type 68, one of the mucosal high-risk human papillomavirus, was demonstrated.
