Synonyms and keywords: Bowen's carcinoma; squamous cell carcinoma in situ of skin; intraepidermal carcinoma skin
Overview
In medicine (dermatology), Bowen's disease (BD) is a sunlight-induced skin disease, considered either as an early stage or intraepidermal form of squamous cell carcinoma.
Historical Perspective
Pathophysiology
Microscopic Pathology
- Cells in Bowen's disease are extremely unusual or atypical under the microscope
- In many cases, cells look worse under the microscope than the cells of many outright and invading squamous cell carcinomas
- Degree of atypia (strangeness, unusualness) seen under the microscope best tells how cells may behave (should they invade another portion of the body)[1][2]
- Borst-Jadassohn phenomenon[3][4]

Causes
Bowen's disease is a non-infectious, non-familial disease with common causes as mentioned below:
- Solar damage due to long-term sun exposure or use of sunbeds, especially in people with fair skin
- Arsenic
- Patients with weak immune system due to:
- Viral infection
- Previous radiotherapy treatment
- Chronic skin injury
- Dermatoses
Epidemiology and Demographics
Age
- Bowen's disease can affect adults of any age, most commonly involves older patients in their 60s or 70s
- It is rare before the age of 30 years
Gender
- Bowen's disease occurs predominantly in women (70-85% of cases)
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
- Bowen's disease grows very slowly over the period of months or even years[5]
- It is easily treatable if diagnosed in time
- If left undiagnosed, untreated or neglected, Bowen's disease can ultimately progressively develop into invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in 1 in 20-30 people (i.e. 3-5% risk)
- SCC is a treatable condition, but if it's deeper or invasive, it means it's very serious
Diagnosis
Common symptoms
- It usually appears as one or more skin patches with following characteristics:[5]
Signs and symptoms of malignant transformation
- Following changes in the skin patch are the signs that bowen's disease has turned into invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the skin:
Common sites of involvement
Skin
- Lesions can occur anywhere on the skin surface or on mucosal surfaces, although the involvement of palms or soles is uncommon
- A persistent progressive non-elevated red scaly or crusted plaque which is due to an intradermal carcinoma and is potentially malignant
- Atypical squamous (resembling fish scales) cells proliferate through the whole thickness of the epidermis
 |
 |
 |
Extremities
- About three-quarters of the patients have lesions on the lower leg (60-85%), usually in previously or presently sun-exposed areas of skin
Head and neck area
- Being prone to the sun exposure, head and neck area is also one of the common sites to be affected by Bowen's disease
Skinfolds
 |
Genitourinary system
Bowen's disease appears in following 3 forms in genital area:[9]
| Bowen's disease form | Characteristic features |
|---|---|
| Bowenoid papulosis | |
| Erythroplasia of Queyrat | |
| Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) |
 |
 |
Physical Examination
- Bowen's disease typically presents as a gradually enlarging, well demarcated erythematous plaque with an irregular border and surface crusting or scaling[10][11][12]
- Lesion might feel tender representing its malignant transformation
 |
Dermoscopy
Skin biopsy
- Skin biopsy must be done when Bowen's disease can't be surely differentiated from other skin lesions on physical examination
Treatment
Different treatment options for Bowen's disease include the following:
| Treatment option | Details |
|---|---|
| Cryosurgery/Freezing |
|
| Topical cream |
|
| Curettage & electrodesiccation or cryotherapy |
|
| Cauterization or diathermy coagulation[13] | |
| Photodynamic therapy (PDT)[14][15][16][17][18][19] | |
| Radiation therapy[20][21][22][23][24][25] | |
| Excision |
Differentiating Bowen's disease from other Diseases
- Bowen's disease must be differentiated from the following:
