Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ, also known as Bowen disease, is SCC confined to the epidermis and superficial adnexal epithelium, further characterised by full-thickness involvement of the epidermis by dysplastic squamous cells. The term "Bowen disease" was originally used specifically to describe SCC in-situ in sun-protected skin as a harbinger of internal malignancy, but the terms "Bowen disease" and "SCC in situ" are now used interchangeably to describe epidermal SCC in situ of both sun-dam-aged and sun-protected skin.
