Dermatoscopic Radial Rippling of Pigment: A Potential Indicator of Pigmented Bowen's Disease

Abstract:
Pigmented Bowen's disease (pBD) or pigmented squamous cell cancer in situ is uncommon, accounting for 1.67%-5.5% of Bowen's disease lesions. It resembles pigmented actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, solar lentigo, atypical nevus, or melanoma, and is ruled out through biopsy. Pigmented Bowen's disease typically presents as an asymptomatic, flat or slightly raised, scaly, and well-delineated plaque that primarily affects individuals in their sixties. Risk factors include human papilloma virus infection, arsenic exposure, sun exposure, ionizing radiation, and trauma.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
