Pigmented Bowen’s disease (Bowenoid Papulosis) dermoscopically mimicking melanoma
Journal Title: Turkderm-Turkish Archives of Dermatology and Venereology - Year 2019, Vol 53, Issue 2
Abstract
Pigmented Bowen’s disease (PBD) is a rare variant of Bowen's disease. It is important to distinguish PBD from other pigmented skin lesions such as solar lentigo, pigmented actinic keratosis, keratoacanthoma, seborrheic keratosis, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, Spitz/Reed nevus, blue nevus, melanocytic nevi and melanoma. Dermoscopy is a useful, non-invasive method commonly used in the differential diagnosis of pigmented lesions. Here, we report a 51-year-old man with PBD, which was dermoscopically mimicking melanoma and was associated with human papilloma virus infection.
