A Case of Multiple Bowen's Disease with Small-Cell Lung Cancer / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Bowen's disease represents an intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma and can be associated with internal malignancy. Internal cancers originate predominantly from respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. A 71-year-old man presented with erythematous crusted plaques with emsion on the right lower abdomen, left elbow, and left 4th finger. He had been diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer 17 months ago. The histopathologic features of the skin lesions showed Bowens disease. The abdominal lesion was removed by surgical excision and the lesions on the elbow and finger were treated by topical 5-FU application.
