    AbstractA patient with a bizarre fungating tumour of the anterior abdominal wall is described. The lesion had the histological features of Bowen's disease and also had the appearance of a basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation. In addition, the patient had 'raindrop' pigmentation typical of chronic arsenic intoxication. As far as we know, Bowen's disease has once previously been reported in a Black patient in South Africa. We have not encountered any other description in the literature of Bowen's disease presenting as a fungating tumour.
