This case study presents a rare instance of polydactylous Bowen's disease, a type of skin cancer, affecting both fingernails and toenails. It highlights the unusual presentation of this malignant nail tumor in a 52-year-old patient.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant nail tumors are infrequently encountered in clinical practice.
  • Bowen's disease, an in situ squamous cell carcinoma, can rarely manifest in the nail apparatus.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old patient presented with persistent, verrucous lesions affecting the nail beds of both hands and feet.
  • The lesions were chronic and characterized by their warty appearance.

Findings:

  • Nail biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of polydactylous Bowen's disease.
  • This represents the first reported case of Bowen's disease involving both digital and pedal nail beds.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of Bowen's disease.
