Abstract:
Bowen's disease was originally described by Bowen in 1912 and is believed to be a squamous cell carcinoma in situ. It develops on any part of the skin surfaces or mucous membranes. But the lesions on the vulvar region are relatively rare. The gross appearance of vulvar lesion, which shows erosion, ulceration or pigmentation, is different from that of typical Bowen's disease. We, herein, report a case of Bowen's disease arising on a vulvar region with a review of the literature.
