Multiple seborrheic verrucae following eczema--a case report

Area of Science:

• Dermatology and clinical pathology.

Background:

• Seborrheic verrucae are common benign epidermal tumors.
• Multiple seborrheic verrucae following eczema (Williams' sign) is a rare phenomenon.

Observation:

• A 59-year-old male patient presented with multiple seborrheic verrucae.
• The onset of lesions occurred after a history of eczema.

Findings:

• The case report details the occurrence of multiple seborrheic verrucae in a patient with a preceding eczema diagnosis.
• This presentation aligns with the rare Williams' sign, first described in 1956.

Implications:

• This case adds to the limited literature on Williams' sign.
• Further research may elucidate the potential link between eczema and the development of multiple seborrheic verrucae.
