Because Fanconi anemia is a hereditary bone marrow failure disease caused by DNA repair dysfunction, malignant skin tumors have been recognized in patients with Fanconi anemia. Herein, we report a 32-year-old male with Fanconi anemia presenting multiple Bowen's disease skin lesions. He first recognized skin eruption in his scrotum, which was diagnosed with Bowen's disease by dermoscopy examination and histological analysis. Due to the elevated risk of skin cancers in Fanconi anemia, we conducted additional meticulous examinations using dermoscopy on the entire body's skin, revealing another skin tumor on his back. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of another site of Bowen's disease. Therefore, additional thorough examinations using dermoscopy might aid in identifying multiple skin tumors in high-risk cases of skin malignancies, such as Fanconi anemia.
