Bowenoid papulosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by the presence of pigmented verrucous papules on the body of the penis.[1]:730[2]:408 They are associated with human papillomavirus, the causative agent of genital warts.[3] The lesions have a typical dysplastic histology and are generally considered benign, although a small percentage will develop malignant characteristics.
The term "Bowenoid papulosis" was coined in 1977 by Kopf and Bart and is named after dermatologist John Templeton Bowen.[4][5][6]
