Answer:
Bowens disease is predominantly a disease of the elderly, with a mean age at diagnosis in the sixth decade. Most often the lesion appears as a scaly, crusted, fissured, erythematous plaque. The histopathology of Bowens disease is that of squamous cell carcinoma in situ and is histologically indistinguishable from erythroplasia of Queyrat or bowenoid papulosis. Surgical excision is the therapy of choice for Bowens disease lesions.
