Nailbed HPV-related Bowen's disease in a man living with HIV

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection with wide-ranging clinical manifestations. High-risk anogenital HPV genotypes have also been reported to cause extragenital disease. We describe the case of a 69-year-old male patient living with HIV who was diagnosed with HPV-16 associated Bowen's Disease (BD) of the right middle finger nailbed, despite good virologic control and immune reconstitution. The lesion was managed surgically with adjunctive post-exposure HPV vaccination. This case adds to the growing body of evidence of extra-genital HPV disease attributable to anogenital genotypes in people living with HIV.
