Seborrheic Keratosis of the Auricle: Report of an Unusual Case

Abstract

Seborrheic keratoses are superficial epithelial lesions. They are usually pigmented and often warty, but sometimes they appear as smooth papules. These lesions frequently occur on the face during middle and old age. We report an unusual case of a large seborrheic keratosis of the auricle. We also emphasize the importance of the differential diagnosis, and we discuss the treatment strategy for these usually benign but disfiguring tumors.
