Bowen's disease is a type of squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the skin. The
pigmented form is rare and represents less than 2% of cases. We report a case of
a 74-year-old black man with a blackened and asymptomatic leg injury for about 6
months. Clinically, and under dermatoscopy, the injury was suggestive of
melanoma or melanoacanthoma, and a definitive diagnosis was made by
histopathological examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
