Seborrhoeic keratosis: bilaterally symmetrical linear verrucous lesions in inguinal folds, an unusual presentation

ABSTRACT

Seborrhoeic keratosis is the commonest benign epithelial tumour that occurs from middle age onwards most commonly on sun-exposed areas. We, herewith, report a case of seborrhoeic keratosis with bilaterally symmetrical linear verrucous lesions in both inguinal folds. Linear verrucous epidermal nevus, condyloma acuminata and bowenoid papulosis were excluded by history and histopathological data. Chronic candidiasis of groin in this diabetic patient may be responsible for peculiar localization of the tumour
