Bowen's disease is a squamous cell carcinoma in situ that affects both skin and mucosa and may progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. It is clinically characterized by a well-defined, slow-growing erythematous plaque with irregular, well-demarcated borders and overlying scales or crusts. The clinical presentation is confirmed by histopathological data showing squamous cell carcinoma in situ. We present a 35-year-old male patient with a skin lesion on the right hemithorax of 3 years of evolution. On dermatological examination he presented a single erythematous plaque lesion located on the right hemithorax, with well-defined borders, 2x2 cm in diameter, annular shape and fine scales on the surface. The perilesional skin showed chronic actinic damage. Exeresis and biopsy of the lesion were performed. The biopsy results reported that the histological appearance was consistent with squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease).
