Seborrheic Keratosis Through the Lens of Histopathology: A Case Report

Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is the most common benign pigmented epidermal lesion, typically occurring in elderly individuals and mostly confined to sun-exposed areas. Though SK is harmless, it can mimic both benign and malignant cutaneous lesions, necessitating histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis. The lesion commonly presents as a pigmented, verrucous growth with clinical suspicion requiring further investigation. We report a case of SK involving the right cheek region in an elderly female. The lesion was managed successfully, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the clinical and histopathological diversity of SK to ensure precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
