Giant seborrheic keratosis of the genitalia

Abstract

Genital seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a rare entity, which can be easily misdiagnosed as genital warts. Dermoscopy is a useful tool to make diagnosis of SK in such cases. We report a 50-year-old woman with a large polypoidal growth on the external genitalia. Dermoscopic examination showed fissures and ridges, cerebriform appearance, and comedo-like openings consistent with SK. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SK.

Giant perianal Seborrheic keratosis: A case report

“…More than one type is often found in the same lesion [ 7 ]. Basal cell carcinoma, condyloma acuminata, melanoma are the most common misdiagnoses of seborrheic keratosis [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] ].…”

“…SK involving the genital region is a rare scenario, and can be easily misdiagnosed as genital warts. Histopathology helps in making the diagnosis in such cases [ 3 ]. Lesions are rarely more than 3 cm in diameter.…”

“…It has been suggested that HPVs could play role in the pathogenesis of seborrheic keratosis. The cause of genital SK is as yet unknown, but there may be a possible role of chronic friction [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Giant Seborrheic Keratosis on the Right Flank Part: A Case Report

“…Giant SK, an atypical SK, is rarely reported on the genitalia, perianal, or face in previous studies (14)(15)(16)(17). However, at the time of this study, no case of giant SK was reported on the flank part.…”

Giant perigenital seborrheic keratosis

“…Extensive female genital involvement was also reported. [ 7 ] There was also a report of giant pedunculated lesion occurring over the groin. [ 8 ] However, such extensive involvement as in our case with lesions over the pubic area, genitals, scrotum, perineum, thigh, and perianal areas has not been documented previously.…”
