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 demarcated, irregularly pigmented lesion measuring 1.3 x 1.5 cm on the right part of the abdomen in a 76-year-old male Caucasian. In order not to miss melanoma, the excision and histopathologic examination of the lesion with peppering is essential.
