What is it about?
Bowen's disease is an intraepidermal carcinoma that can progress to invasive carcinoma and can affect several organs, including the vulva. This clinical case presents a 45-year-old patient with vulvar BOWEN'S disease, with hyperpigmented, dyschromic vulvar and anal exophytic lesions on the clinical examination.

Why is it important?
The Skin and vulvar biopsy showed a squamous cell carcinoma in situ with no invasive sites. Cytological sampling of ASC-H cervix, showed at colposcopy: endocervical TAG2A, ZT3. The nail biopsy showed a squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease) with no signs of invasion.
Perspectives
Bowen’s disease (BD) and Bowenoid papulosis (BP) are premalignant skin lesions, mostly appearing on sun-exposed areas. Lesions on the vulvar regions are relatively rare and there is still confusion about the various terms used to describe these similar disorders [1,2].
