Abstract
Bowenoid Papulosis (BP) is an uncommon, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) induced genital dysplasia, usually observed in younger, sexually active individuals. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with dark, itchy lesions over her external genitalia of 6 months duration. Clinical examination and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of BP. The patient was managed with weekly cryotherapy sessions and was advised to undergo annual cytological screening.
