This study details a rare case of bilateral Bowen's disease in an elderly man with chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL). The findings highlight the diagnostic challenges and potential link between immunosuppression and this skin cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Bowen's disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ) can be challenging to distinguish from bowenoid papulosis due to similar clinical and pathological features.
  • Chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL) is an underlying condition that can lead to immunosuppression, potentially increasing cancer risk.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male patient with a history of CLL presented with multiple, bilateral, and symmetrical lesions resembling bowenoid papulosis.
  • Histopathological examination and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing were crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with bilateral Bowen's disease, distinct from bowenoid papulosis.
  • The development of Bowen's disease is suspected to be linked to the immunosuppressive state associated with CLL.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of thorough differential diagnosis for multifocal skin lesions in immunosuppressed patients.
  • Understanding the etiological factors, such as immunosuppression from CLL, is vital for managing and preventing cutaneous malignancies.
  • Further research into the association between specific hematological malignancies and cutaneous conditions like Bowen's disease is warranted.
