Dr. Shane Chapman, MD discusses Skin Cancer Bowen's Disease. See more at http://www.dermnet.com PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!!
Bowen's disease is another name for squamous cell carcinoma in-situ of the skin. It is a full thickness epidermal dysplasia or atypia. Bowen's disease lesions can be found in both sun-exposed
and non-sun exposed areas. Ultraviolet light, human papilloma virus and chemicals such as arsenic are all potential etiologies. Lesions are typically slow growing, asymptomatic and rarely if
ever pose a life-threatening risk.
