- Abstract: Bowen's disease usually manifests as a slowly enlarging erythematous scaly patch or plaque. An uncommon variant of Bowen's disease showing a verrucous appearance has been reported and a distinct variant with a prominent clear cell change on histopathology, in addition to a verrucous surface change, was also reported. We describe novel form of Bowen's disease having a cerebriform appearance and showing histopathologically a significant clear cell change and propose that the clinical term “lobulated Bowen's disease” would be compatible for the description of this unique clinical variant. From a histopathological point of view, the precise definition and etiopathogenesis of the clear cell change in Bowen's disease should be elucidated.
