[Stuccokeratoses. Review and own observations]

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Pathology

Background:

• Stuccokeratoses are common, verruca plana-like lesions.
• They predominantly affect the distal extremities of elderly individuals.
• A predilection for males is observed.

Observation:

• This study discusses the nosology, histopathology, pathogenesis, and differential diagnosis of stuccokeratoses.
• Three case studies of stuccokeratoses are presented.
• The lesions are characterized by their typical appearance and location.

Findings:

• Stuccokeratoses share similarities with verruca plana.
• Histopathological and pathogenetic aspects are explored.
• Differential diagnosis is considered in relation to other skin conditions.

Implications:

• Stuccokeratoses are suggested to be a variant of senile seborrheic keratoses.
• Understanding their classification aids in accurate diagnosis.
• Further research may clarify their specific etiology and relationship to seborrheic keratoses.
