The bowenoid transformation of seborrheic keratosis (SK) has rarely been reported. The purpose of this study is to identify their diagnostic immunohistochemical features and association with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Skin biopsy specimens of the phenomenon were retrieved from 2001 to 2010. Benign SK, Bowen disease, bowenoid papulosis, and squamous cell carcinoma were included as controls. All specimens were stained for hematoxylin and eosin, Ki-67, p21, p16, p53, and cyclin D1. Polymerase chain reaction-amplified HPV DNA was analyzed. Seventeen cases of SK with bowenoid transformation were identified. The immunohistochemical pattern of bowenoid transformation was similar to that of Bowen disease and bowenoid papulosis. The malignant cells exhibited increased expressions of p16, p21, and ki-67 and a decreased expression of cyclin D1 (P < 0.01). HPV DNA was detected in 5 cases of bowenoid transformation. In conclusion, a portion of the cases of SK with bowenoid transformation were associated with HPV infection. Selective immunohistochemical stains were helpful in the diagnosis of malignant change in these cases.

Article Synopsis
- - Bowenoid papulosis is a skin condition linked to HPV infections, which can potentially develop into squamous cell carcinoma, making its diagnosis and treatment important.
- - A 34-year-old non-smoker presented with asymptomatic, pigmented lesions on the penis, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by reflectance confocal microscopy and histopathological exam.
- - Treatment involved Imiquimod and Isoprinosine, resulting in positive progress after 6 weeks, showcasing reflectance confocal microscopy as an effective, non-invasive way to diagnose and monitor treatment response.

Background: The current histopathological classifications for actinic keratosis (AK) are subjective, and histopathological factors predicting the progression into invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remain unclear.
Objectives: To quantitatively assess the histopathological findings of AK and to investigate the predisposing factors for malignant transformation of AK.
Methods: A total of 502 AK specimens were retrospectively reviewed.

We report a case of seborrheic keratosis (SK) that transformed into bowenoid actinic keratosis (AK) via three steps of histological change in a 77-year-old woman. The patient presented with a multiple-year history of a brownish lesion on the right cheek. She reported that some months earlier she had noted a pinkish lesion developing within the brownish lesion.
