Bowen's disease of the nail bed: a case presentation and review of the literature.
Since 1919, when Bowen first described intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed, only 11 cases of this rare disease have been reported in the literature. The 12th case of Bowen's disease, presented here, offers an alternative method of treatment using 5-fluorouracil combined with a keratolytic ointment.
