bowenoid papulosis

A lesion of the anus characterised by multiple pigmented papules, most commonly on the penis, vulva and genitalia of young adults (younger than Bowen’s disease). While it is clinically benign, the finding of HPV-16, an HPV associated with dysplasia and intraepithelial neoplasia, makes it part of the spectrum of premalignant lesions.
