Bowen's disease of the vulva and perianal area in a SLE patient successfully treated with Photodynamic therapy: A case report.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a non-invasive treatment modality for superficial skin cancers. It has the advantage of greater tolerance and providing better cosmetic outcomes than conventional treatment methods. Because of the rarity of extensive Bowen's disease located in the genital area, evidence of efficacy for therapies is mainly based on case reports and clinical experience. This report presents a case of a 32-year-old female with Bowen's disease of the vulva and perianal area with systemic lupus erythematosus successfully treated by 5-aminolaevulinic acid PDT. There was no evidence of recurrence after five-years of follow-up.
