Bowen's disease is a very early form of skin cancer that's easily treatable. The main sign is a red, scaly patch on the skin. It affects the squamous cells, which are in the outermost layer of skin, and is sometimes referred to as squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ, also called Bowen disease, is the earliest form of squamous cell skin cancer. “In situ” means that the cells of these cancers are still only in the epidermis (the upper layer of the skin) and have not invaded into deeper layers. Bowen disease appears as reddish patches.

Abstract. Bowen's disease is a well-known precancerous lesion, in which invasive squamous carcinoma may develop. However, it is rare that Bowen's disease, basal cell carcinoma, and internal malignancy develop in a single patient.
Bowen's disease is sometimes called squamous cell carcinoma in situ. This means the cancerous cells are in the outer layer of the skin. They grow very slowly and are unlikely to cause a problem in most people. Bowen's disease is sometimes called squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
Actinic keratoses are usually small in size (0.5–2.0 cms) and look like patches of rough, scaly skin which vary in colour. They are usually pink but can be red, or tan, a combination of all of these, or the same colour as normal skin. Bowen's disease patches are usually 0.5–2.0 cms in size.
Bowen's disease is named after the skin specialist (dermatologist) who first described it in 1912. It occurs when there is a growth of abnormal cells in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). These abnormal cells are just within the epidermis and have not spread anywhere else.

Untreated cases of Bowen's disease may develop into squamous cell cancer in a small number of people (about 3-5 out of every 100 who have it). This is a common, curable type of skin cancer which affects the outermost cells of the skin but can spread to deeper layers of skin.
According to the medical literature, Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate of all treatment options. Cryotherapy may also be used to treat Bowen disease. Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold to freeze and destroy the tissue and cells of skin lesions. Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment option.
Bowen disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ) is usually treated by excision (cutting out the tumor). Mohs surgery, curettage and electrodesiccation, radiation therapy, topical fluorouracil (5-FU), and cryosurgery are other options. Laser surgery or other topical therapies may be considered in special situations.
