Bowenoid papulosis of the penis.

Bowenoid papulosis of the penis is a recently emerged entity that clinically resembles benign dermatosis but it is histologically identical to pre-invasive carcinoma. Its lesions are multiple, painless and wart-like in appearance, and occur in young, circumcised men between 21 and 38 years old. Therapy consists of excision, electrodissection or topical 5-fluorouracil. We report 2 cases of bowenoid papulosis of the penis and compare this entity to Bowen's disease, erythroplasia of Queyrat and invasive carcinoma.
