Pigmented Bowen's disease

P P Papageorgiou et al. Br J Dermatol. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

We describe two Afro-Caribbean women who presented with pigmented Bowen's disease. One, a 44-year-old woman, developed a sharply demarcated, irregularly marginated, hyperpigmented plaque with a velvety surface in the perianal area. The other, a 25-year-old woman, developed a well defined, verrucous, hyperpigmented patch on the umbilicus. Histology showed that both cases were Bowen's disease, and subsequent treatment with 5-fluorouracil and cryotherapy led to complete resolution.
