- Abstract
Seborrheic keratosis are frequent, benign, epidermic tumors and due to their variety of clinical presentations they must be differentiated from other pigmented and non pigmented, benign and malignant lesions. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, diagnostic tool that can increase the diagnostic accuracy from 5% to 30%. Today there are well established criteria to diagnose seborrheic keratosis with dermoscopy: millia-like cysts, comedo-like openings, fissures and ridges, fingerprint-like structures and additional criteria described (hairpin vessels, moth-eaten border, network-like structures), due to their polymorphic presentations, are considered banal lesions, and they could be misdiagnosed or coexist with some other malignant tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma or melanoma.
