  https://www.pcds.org.uk/clinical-guidance/bowens-disease

  Bowen disease is characterised by fullthickness epidermal dysplasia and disordered differentiation with loss of epithelial polarity. The intraepidermal portion of cutaneous adnexae is generally affected. Parakeratosis and acanthosis are usually present and keratinocytes show variable pleomorphism, nuclear hyperchromasia and nuclear enlargement. […] Examine for other relevant skin lesions. […] Direct patients to the section of this website on self-examination and also UV protection. […] Although the risk of leg ulceration is greater with cryosurgery, it can also happen with Efudix cream, as such a watch and wait policy can be offered for lesions on the gaiter area of the legs in patients with a reduced life expectancy.

  Bowen’s disease is a squamous cell carcinoma in situ that can degenerate into an invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. […] There are several types of treatment described in the literature, such as surgical excision of the lesion with a safety margin, curettage and electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser, photodynamic therapy, topical imiquimod 5% and topical 5-fluorouracil 5%. There is no consensus about the most appropriate treatment. […] Surgical excision is accepted as the gold standard for the treatment of Bowen’s disease. It allows to histologically examine the resection margins and ensure free margins. […] It is essential an early diagnosis and a prompt treatment due to the risk of malignant transformation. Surgical excision with a wide margin is a useful approach with a low recurrence rate and usually with an acceptable functional and aesthetic outcomes.
