Abstract:
Bowens disease is a precaicerous lesion and may transform into in asive squamous cell carcinoma. We present a case of a 67 year-old male with Bowens disease on the buttock from which squamous cell carcinoma developed. He had anerythematous, scaly and crusted slaque with a nodule on the left buttock. Skin biopsy specimen taken from the plaque and nodule revealed typical histopathological findings of Bowens disease and squlamous cell carcinoma, respectieels. The patient was treated with excision and skin graft under general anesthesia.
