Bowen's Disease masquerading clinically as a follicular cyst in a renal transplant recipient.
Lesions developing in organ transplant patients may have a misleading clinical appearance. We report herein a case of Bowen's disease that developed within the epithelial wall of a hair follicle and masqueraded clinically as a banal follicular cyst in a renal transplant recipient. We speculate that this lesion developed from pre-existing Bowen's disease extending to the hair follicles.
