Popis:	OBJECTIVE: To present a case of Bowen's disease of the breast. CASE REPORT: A 51 years old female presented to the dermatology out-patient department with large plaque measuring 15x13cms on her right breast, of twenty years evolution. A clinical diagnosis of Bowen's disease/Paget's disease/Lupus vulgaris of the breast was made. Histopathological examination confirmed Bowen's disease. CONCLUSION: In the present case, Bowen's disease extensively involved the breast along with complete destruction of nipple and areola and rarity of occurrence over sun- protected area like breast and without history suggestive of arsenic exposure. There was no associated underlying carcinoma of the breast or internal malignancies. Histo-pathologically Paget's disease and lupus vulgaris was ruled out and a final diagnosis of Bowen's disease was made. Hence we publish this case for its rarity.
