ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

By presenting a case study on multiple instances of Bowen's disease and the consistent use of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy over a three-year period, our aim is to enhance the comprehension of domestic clinicians regarding the disease. Additionally, we seek to review existing literature, encouraging dermatologists to consider clinical secondary primary lesion diagnoses.

METHOD:

Our approach involves analyzing a diagnosed case of multiple Bowen's disease, examining clinical manifestations, histopathology, imaging results, and treatment methods related to NB-UVB phototherapy. We aim to facilitate discussion and understanding through a comprehensive literature analysis.

RESULTS:

An elderly male with a 30-year history of psoriasis vulgaris initiated continuous NB-UVB therapy three years ago. A year later, he developed red patches and plaques with distinct borders and scaly surfaces on his face, trunk, lower extremities, and scrotum. Histopathological examination confirmed Bowen's disease. Treatment involved liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, with no recurrence observed during the one-year follow-up.

CONCLUSION:

This case highlights that Bowen's disease, typically solitary, can manifest as multiple instances, especially in individuals with a history of psoriasis vulgaris. While NB-UVB stands as the primary treatment for psoriasis vulgaris, caution is warranted due to the potential risk of skin tumor induction with prolonged high-dose usage. Clinicians should be vigilant in monitoring and assessing the long-term implications of such therapies.
