A Case of Bowen's Disease of the Nail Bed Presenting as Longitudinal Melanonychia

Abstract
|
|
|
Bowen's disease is an intraepithelial squamous cell carcinoma. It occurs anywhere on the surface of the body. Bowen's disease involving the nail bed epithelium is very rare. Recently, some literatures showed that human papillomavirus is
associated
with
squamous cell carcinomas of the finger by in situ hybridization or polymerase chain reaction.
A 30-year-old housewife developed longitudinal melanonychia with asymptomatic fissured nail plate on her right third finger. The histologic specimen showed diffuse anaplastic change confined to the nail bed epithelium. The subungual epithelium
was
found
to contain human papillomavirus DNA type 31/33/35 with he use of in situ hybridization. (Kor J Dermatol 1994 ; 32(3) : 524~517)
