To present a case of Bowen's disease of the breast. CASE REPORT: A 51 years old female presented to the dermatology outpatient department with large plaque measuring 15x13cms on her right breast, of twenty years evolution. A clinical diagnosis of Bowen's disease/Paget's disease/Lupus vulgaris of the breast was made. Histopathological examination confirmed Bowen's disease. CONCLUSION: In the present case, Bowen's disease extensively involved the breast along with complete destruction of nipple and areola and rarity of occurrence over sunprotected area like breast and without history suggestive of arsenic exposure. There was no associated underlying carcinoma of the breast or internal malignancies. Histo-pathologically Paget's disease and lupus vulgaris was ruled out and a final diagnosis of Bowen's disease was made. Hence we publish this case for its rarity.
Angiofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor seen in adolescent males. Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma although rare, has also been reported. Nasal cavity, Nasal septum, Para nasal sinuses are some of the common extra nasopharyngeal sites of origin, and can present a diagnostic challenge. Hence, meticulous evaluation and the possibility of angiofibroma should be always kept in mind. We present a rare case of Nasal Septal Angiofibroma in a 13-year-old boy with 1-month history of epistaxis and nasal obstruction and were treated successfully.
