| Summary: | Bowenoid papulosis (BP) is a rare sexually transmitted disease caused by Human Papillomavirus 16 that affect young sexually active age group.
A 39-years-old male complained of wart over the scrotum and left groin that gradually increased in number and size for one year duration. Dermatology status obtained multiple, small, well-defined, grey-brown, papules on the scrotum and left groin. Dermoscopy examination revealed a pigmented papillomatous surface, brown-grey dots linearly arranged at the edges, and widespread dotted vessels. Histopathological examination confirmed Bowenoid Papulosis. The patient is treated with surgical excision and cauterization. Six months following the procedure, the patient had no complaints and no new lesions.
Since the development of BP is unpredictable, early diagnosis, adequate treatment, and routine examinations for recurrence and progression of disease is required.
