J Am Acad Dermatol. 1991 Feb;24(2 Pt 1):261-4. doi: 10.1016/0190-9622(91)70039-5.

Abstract

Bowenoid papulosis is an uncommon genital dysplasia induced by human papillomavirus infection. Clinically, it usually resembles persistent warts, but histologically it may be suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma in situ. This unusual disorder and recent advances in our understanding of it are reviewed.
