Abstract
- Bowenoid papulosis (BP) is largely a disease of young, sexually active adults, which presents with pink or flesh colored macular or papular lesions in the anogenital area. It has been established that various human papilloma virus (HPV) types are the causative agents of BP and of these, HPV-16, the oncogenic one, is the most common. The course of BP is variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to persistent of lesions to a transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. We report a case of Bowenoid papulosis in a 29-year-old, sexually active female whose anogenital area was covered with innumerable papular lesions extended to the lower extremities.
