Dermatofibroma simulating seborrheic keratosis dermoscopically*

چکیده
Dermatofibroma is a frequent benign tumor of easy clinical diagnosis in most cases, but that can mimic other dermatoses. Dermoscopy may help to define the diagnosis and its classical pattern is a central white area, similar to a scar, surrounded by a discrete pigment network. However, dermoscopic findings are not always typical. We describe here a case of dermatofibroma exhibiting ridges, furrows and pseudocomedos, a pattern which is typical of seborrheic keratosis, in dermoscopy.

Regressing seborrheic keratosis - clinically and dermoscopically mimicking a regressing melanoma.
The diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis is a clinical diagnosis. In a certain percentage of cases, differential diagnosis between seborrheic keratosis and malignant melanoma is difficult. We describe a case of regressing seborrheic keratosis simulating malignant melanoma. Clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic examinations were performed for the occurrence of an asymmetric, irregularly demarca...

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 کاملReflectance confocal microscopy: a useful and non-invasive tool in the in vivo differentiation of benign pigmented skin lesions from malignant melanoma. Report of a case
The diagnosis of seborrheic keratoses (SK) undergoing regression can be challenging clinically and dermoscopically. We report a case of a SK with a history of change and equivocal dermoscopic features, thereby showing confocal features suggestive of solar lentigo/early SK. The present case emphasizes the potential value of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in the differentiation of malignan...
متن کاملReticulated acanthoma with sebaceous differentiation mimicking melanoma
Reticulated acanthoma with sebaceous differentiation (RASD) is a rare, benign cutaneous tumor with peculiar histopathologic characteristics [1]. RASD had been described under various synonyms such as superficial epithelioma with sebaceous differentiation, sebocrine adenoma, poroma with sebaceous differentiation, and seborrheic keratosis with sebaceous differentiation [2]. Clinical differential ...

Background: Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign tumor and many modalities are used to treat it. No convincing data favors the therapeutic effect of calcipotriol on seborrheic keratosis. We aimed to assess the efficacy of calcipotriol in the treatment of this tumor.Method: Eligible patients aged over 40 years with seborrheic keratosis (size: 5-15mm) were instructed to apply 50?g/g calcipotri...
