AB  - An  elderly  woman  noted  a  growth  of  a  lesion  on  her  chest  (Figure  158-1).  She  was  afraid  that  it  might  be  melanoma.  Her  family  physician  recognized  the  typical  features  of  a  seborrheic  keratosis  (SK)  (stuck-on  with  visible  horn  cysts)  and  attempted  to  reassure  her.  Dermoscopy  was  performed  and  the  features  were  so  typical  of  an  SK;  the  physician  was  able  to  convince  the  patient  to  not  have  a  biopsy  (Figure  158-2).  The  black  comedonal-like  openings  and  white  milia-like  cysts  are  typical  of  an  SK  and  can  be  seen  with  the  naked  eye  and  magnified  with  a  dermatoscope.
