title: Pigmented Bowen's disease and review of 420 Bowen's disease lesions.
abstract: Pigmented Bowen's disease is rare. We report an unusual case of pigmented Bowen's disease of the ring finger, which clinically presented as a superficial, spreading melanoma. Records of 420 lesions of Bowen's disease were reviewed; 7 lesions (1.67%) were pigmented and all occurred outside the anogenital area. We conclude that Bowen's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pigmented lesions.
