Donovanosis With Bowen Disease.

A 45-year-old farmer presented with ulcers and plaques over his scrotum for the past 4 to 5 years. The condition started as a small lesion on the shaft of the penis, which improved with treatment; however, after 2 to 3 months, papulonodular lesions developed on the scrotum, which increased in size and subsequently broke down to form ulcers. He denied drug abuse but had a history of multiple unprotected sexual exposures. He was prescribed oral antibiotics, which improved the lesions, but he failed to take the antibiotics for more than a week. He also used powders, lotions, and salves (exact nature not known), which did not help and sometimes even burned the skin. After stopping the medicine, he developed new lesions that followed a similar course. Examination revealed nontender ulcers on the scrotum with raised, rolled-out margins and pale red, granulation tissue that bled on touch (Figure 1). In addition, there were nodules with a pinkish red granular surface and scaly erythematous plaques on the scrotum. Regional lymph nodes were not enlarged.
