Uma variedade de lesões cutâneas pode simular melanoma, tais como nevos melanocíticos, lentigos, ceratose seborreica, nevo azul, carcinoma basocelular pigmentado e dermatofibromas. Relata-se um caso clínico raro de uma paciente do sexo feminino que apresentou lesão em coxa esquerda clínica e dermatoscopicamente compatível com melanoma. A paciente foi submetida à exérese da lesão e o histopatológico diagnosticou doença de Bowen pigmentada. O objetivo é alertar que a doença de Bowen pigmentada, uma forma rara de carcinoma espinocelular in situ, também deve ser lembrada como diagnóstico diferencial de melanoma maligno.
