Multiple pagetoid Bowen's disease

Abstract

A 61-year-old male was presented with oozing crusted erythematous skin lesions on the ex-tensor site of the right forearm, the extensor site of the left forearm, left calf, right shin, and the right portion of the buttock. He was diagnosed as having multiple pagetoid Bowen's disease by H&E staining, special staining and by an electron microscopic examination. He was treated with a topical application of 5-flurouracil cream and cryosurgery. The skin lesions were mostly healed after 7 months. We herein report a case of multiple pagetoid Bowen's disease on the sun-protected area that may be caused by arsenic ingestion.
