Sažetak
Diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis is a clinical diagnosis. In a certain percentage of cases differential diagnosis between pigmented seborrheic keratosis and malignant melanoma is difficult. We describe a case of regressing deep pigmented seborrheic keratosis simulating malignant melanoma. Clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic examinations were performed for the occurrence of a asymmetric, irregularly demarcated, irregularly pigmented lesion measuring 1.3 x 1.5cm on the right part of abdomen of a 76-year-old Caucasian man. In order not to miss melanoma, the excision and histolopathologic examination of lesions with peppering is essential.
