Giant Bowen's disease is a rare and unusual clinical manifestation. Presenting as extensive scaly erythematous patch or plaque, it gives rise to a wide spectrum of dermatological differential diagnoses.
We report a patient with giant Bowen's disease on the face that was successfully treated with topical 5 % imiquimod. A review of the literature was made with the aim to analyse and compare the findings in it with our observation.
We present this case to draw attention to the importance of the self skin examination in the elderly population. Also, to prevent development to invasive squamous cell carcinoma from Bowen's disease, we recommend mandatory dermoscopic examination on every long-standing erythemosquamous lesion.
巨大鲍恩病是一种罕见且不寻常的临床表现。表现为广泛的鳞屑性红斑斑块,引发多种皮肤鉴别诊断。
我们报告一例面部巨大鲍恩病患者,经外用5%咪喹莫特成功治疗。为分析并将文献中的发现与我们的观察结果进行比较,我们对文献进行了回顾。
我们展示此病例以引起对老年人群自我皮肤检查重要性的关注。此外,为防止鲍恩病发展为浸润性鳞状细胞癌,我们建议对每例长期存在的红斑鳞屑性损害进行强制皮肤镜检查。
