Seborrheic Keratosis of Male Breast: A Case Report of Skin Problem Rare at Breast Clinic

Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign skin disease occurring mostly over the sun exposed areas of the body. This dermatological problem is rare in the region of nipple areola complex. Most of the breast surgeons are unaware of this disease. The authors are describing a rare surgical encounter where a provisional diagnosis of breast polyp was made. He was further investigated to rule out any underlying breast malignancy. Finally, excision biopsy revealed the diagnosis. A prior suspicion of this disease could have avoided the need for all these complex investigations.
