Stars in the sky...


A 68-year-old man with a pigmented lesion on the sternal area.


Dermoscopy revealed many a non melanocytic lesion, many milia-like cysts, some crypts and papillary structures, in favor of a seborrheic keratosis.


In the picture above exophytic papillary structures are well seen (Rectangle)


Milia-like cysts
are found in seborrheic keratoses. Nevertheless, they can be present in papillomatous dermal , congenital nevi and melanomas.

Milia-like cysts are often described as "stars in the sky"
