%X UNASSIGNED: Bowen's Disease (BD) stands out as a dermatologic entity known for its rarity and diagnostic intricacies. While BD is recognized for its diverse clinical presentations, its occurrence in the perianal region is particularly exceptional. Our case contributes to the limited body of knowledge regarding perianal BD, shedding light on its distinctive characteristics and guiding clinicians in navigating the intricacies associated with this uncommon presentation.
METHODS: We present the case of a 67-year-old female who sought medical attention for persistent itching in the perianal region. A thorough examination revealed a solitary BD lesion, a notable rarity in this anatomical site. Considering the distinctive characteristics and location, surgical excision was chosen as the preferred treatment strategy. The postoperative course was straightforward, yielding favorable aesthetic outcomes and no recurrence.
UNASSIGNED: The clinical discussion explores the unique challenges associated with perianal BD, emphasizing the rarity of its presentation and its potential to mimic other dermatologic conditions. Factors contributing to the diagnosis, including clinical indicators and risk factors, are scrutinized. Furthermore, the discussion delves into the evolving landscape of diagnostic tools and treatment modalities, especially relevant in the context of perianal BD.
CONCLUSIONS: This case illuminates the rarity of BD in the perianal region, serving as a valuable addition to the limited body of knowledge on this unusual presentation. By unraveling the complexities associated with perianal BD, this report contributes to a deeper understanding of the disease and provides insights that can guide clinicians in navigating similar cases.
