Association between melanocytic neoplasms and seborrheic keratosis: more than a coincidental collision?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical observations and an expanding knowledge of cell-to-cell communication have led us to speculate that the finding of a melanocytic nevus in conjunction with a seborrheic keratosis is more than a coincidental collision of two lesions. Here we present five cases demonstrating dermoscopic features of both melanocytic lesions and seborrheic keratoses with corresponding histology. Four cases demonstrate dermoscopic features of a melanocytic nevus and seborrheic keratosis, and the final case a melanoma arising in association with a seborrheic keratosis.

neous biopsies, yielding 69 collision tumors. Cascajo and colleagues found 54 collision tumors of malignant cutaneous neoplasms associated with seborrheic keratoses in 85,000 biopsies. The most common combinations found by Boyd and Rapini included basal cell carcinoma and nevus (14), basal cell carcinoma and seborrheic keratosis (8), nevus and seborrheic keratosis (14), actinic keratosis and ne...
متن کاملDysplastic nevus associated with seborrheic keratosis*
Seborrheic keratosis is a common skin lesion which may coincidentally be associated melanocytic nevi. The authors describe a case of dysplastic nevus associated with seborrheic keratosis and discuss the clinical, dermoscopic, and histological findings of this association. They also discuss the association between seborrheic keratosis and other benign and malignant tumours.

Sir, The coexistence of more than one neoplasm in a single cutaneous specimen is relatively uncommon and has been defined as a collision or compound tumour (1, 2). Although some of these collision tumours may arise from the involvement of related cell types, most occur by chance (1). Melanocytic naevus has been reported as occurring associated with several different tumour types (1, 3). The ass...

Cutaneous melanoma may in some instances be confused with seborrheic keratosis, which is a very common neoplasia, more often mistaken for actinic keratosis and verruca vulgaris. Melanoma may clinically resemble seborrheic keratosis and should be considered as its possible clinical simulator. We report a case of melanoma with dermatoscopic characteristics of seborrheic keratosis and emphasize th...
