Maladies de Bowen multiples des membres inférieurs chez les femmes âgées : une forme clinique particulière et de traitement difficile

These four cases share numerous clinical similarities: elderly women, markers of chronic sun exposure, lack of other aetiological factors such as arsenic or irradiation, localization of the lesions (multiple and/or continuous layer pattern, restricted to the lower limbs in all cases) and a chronic course. The frequency of this subset is probably underestimated due to absence of biopsies or to inconclusive histology reports. Photodynamic therapy yields valuable results with a good efficacy/safety ratio compared to imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil. However, while this treatment could be considered a first-line option in multiple CBD, its therapeutic value requires more detailed evaluation.
