Abstract

Pigmented Bowen's disease is a rare subtype of Bowen’s disease which presents with a pigmented plaque arising in photo exposed areas of the body. We describe a case of  Pigmented Bowen's disease in a 67-year-old male  who presented with  progressive growth of a pigmented and asymptomatic skin  lesion of  four years duration over right chest involving his right nipple. Dermascopy and   histopathology was suggestive of Pigmented  Bowen’s disease. We report this case due to the pigmented variant which is a rare subtype and also the presence of lesion, over the sun-protected area, in an immunocompetent male in Indian type IV skin.
