Abstract EN
Pigmented tumors have similar clinical features that overlap and hamper diagnosis.
Dermoscopy increases the diagnostic accuracy of doubtful melanocytic lesions and has been used as a noninvasive tool in the detection of pigmented lesions (PLs) like melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and pigmented Bowen's disease (pBD).
Our objective was to show the dermoscopic features of 2 cases of pBD and compare with the findings reported in the literature.
Two dermoscopic images of biopsy proven pBD were retrospectively analyzed for dermoscopic patterns.
Both cases showed brown regular globules, structureless brown and blue pigmentation, glomerular vessels, hypopigmented regression-like areas, and keratosis.
These findings were similar to the cases reported previously.
The dermoscopic diagnosis of pBD is based on the absence of criteria for a melanocytic lesion in the presence of glomerular vessels, regular brown globules and keratosis.
Although pBD is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of PLs, especially melanoma.
