    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Melanoacanthoma is a rare, benign skin neoplasm.
    • Distinguishing melanoacanthoma from other pigmented lesions can be challenging.

    Observation:

    • An 87-year-old Caucasian female presented with a recurrent pigmented tumor on her back.
    • Histological examination revealed a lesion with unpigmented basaloid cells, prickle cells forming horn pearls, and numerous dendritic cells with melanin granules.

    Findings:

    • The lesion was histologically diagnosed as melanoacanthoma.
    • The study reviews literature and discusses the relationship between melanoacanthoma and irritated seborrheic keratosis.

    Implications:

    • Accurate histological diagnosis is crucial for managing pigmented skin tumors.
  • Understanding the differential diagnosis between melanoacanthoma and irritated seborrheic keratosis is important for clinical practice.
