ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

There have been limited reports describing reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of Bowen's disease (BD). Herein, we describe the RCM features of a pigmented BD with atypical dermoscopic features, mimicking a melanoma. This case highlights the importance of RCM in a challenging BD.

Key words

Bowen's disease; melanoma; reflectance confocal microscopy
