| Description: |
Background: Studies have found that few lesions clinically diagnosed as seborrheic keratosis (SK) revealed Cutaneous melanoma (CM) on histopathology. When CM mimics SK, they are defined as seborrheic keratosis-like melanoma (SKLM), and a delayed diagnosis and treatment can occur. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive, monocentric study of the epidemiological, clinical, videodermoscopy (VDS), and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) characteristics of histopathologically proven SKLM diagnosed between 2018 and 2024. Results: The study population consisted of 60 patients: 44 males (73.3%) and 16 females (26.7%) with lesions located in 73.3% of cases on the trunk. Concerning histological type, superficial spreading melanoma was the more frequent (86.7%). More than 50% of tumors had a Breslow thickness |
