A rare case of Bowen's disease on the oral mucosa

Abstract

Bowen's disease is a precancerous disease whose histological picture fits into the concept of "cancer situ". Most often, this disease is localized in different areas of the skin and belongs to the group dyskeratoses. Extremely rarely, the focus can occur on the oral mucosa. The article deals with the case of localization of Bowen's disease on the hard palate mucosa in a middle-aged woman. The main causes of the disease are indicated, diseases are given for the differential diagnosis of the process, as well as the histological signs of a typical form of the disease on the mucous membranes and its fingerprint picture are described.
