Bowen's disease is a squamous cell carcinoma characterized by isolated, grouped or confluent nodules, either flat, scaling, or crusted, with an arcuate or serpiginous configuration. Malignant dyskeratosis throughout the epidermis, the bowenoid hallmark, is not sufficient by itself to identify a lesion as Bowen's disease. It has been suggested, but not proven, that arsenic has a role in the etiology of Bowen's disease. A case of Bowen's disease affecting the palm, an unusual location, is reported.
