Descriptor enfermedad de Bowen
Scope note: Lesión en forma de placa persistente y progresiva no sobreelevada, escamosa o con costra, debida a un carcinoma intradérmico, potencialmente maligno. Las células escamosas atípicas proliferan en todo el espesor de la epidermis. Las lesiones pueden ocurrir en cualquier lugar de la superficie de la piel o de las mucosas. La causa más frecuentemente encontrada son los compuestos de arsénico trivalente. Con frecuencia son efectivas la congelación, cauterización o coagulación por diatermia (Rook et al., Textbook of Dermatology, 4th ed, pp2428-9)

Scope note: A persistent progressive non-elevated red scaly or crusted plaque which is due to an intradermal carcinoma and is potentially malignant. Atypical squamous cells proliferate through the whole thickness of the epidermis. The lesions may occur anywhere on the skin surface or on mucosal surfaces. The cause most frequently found is trivalent arsenic compounds. Freezing, cauterization or diathermy coagulation is often effective. (From Rook et al., Textbook of Dermatology, 4th ed, pp2428-9)
