Seborrheic keratosis



A 90-year-old woman consulted for a pigmented lesion on her forehead.
Dermoscopy revealed a brown pigmentation with multiple blue-gray dots.
The lesion was excised and pathology revealed a seborrheic keratosis.

This lesion was probably regressing to a lichenoïd keratosis (or lichen planus-like keratosis).



See the literature:
