    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Seborrheic keratoses are benign epidermal neoplasms.
    • They are characterized by a pigmented, verrucous, "stuck on" appearance.
    • Lesions commonly emerge during middle age and may darken with time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and management of seborrheic keratoses.
    • To differentiate seborrheic keratoses from malignant skin neoplasms.
    • To outline treatment options for symptomatic or concerning lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation and description of seborrheic keratoses.
    • Review of differential diagnoses, including melanoma and basal cell carcinoma.
    • Summary of established treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Seborrheic keratoses present as pigmented, verrucous papules.
    • Etiology remains largely unknown.
    • Differential diagnosis is crucial to exclude malignancy.

    Conclusions:

    • Seborrheic keratoses are common benign growths requiring accurate diagnosis.
    • Biopsy is recommended when malignancy is suspected.
    • Treatment options are available for clinically indicated cases.
