Abstrakt:	Seborrheic keratosis (SK) has long been known to be an acquired benign tumour of adulthood. Nevo-blaschkoid pattern of SK presenting during infancy is rare and puts a clinician in a quandary regarding final diagnosis. This hypothesis of paediatric SK being a subtype of epidermal nevus (EN) has muddled the understanding of both disorders. There are histopathological pointers that differentiate seborrheic keratosis from SK-like histology of EN. Here, we present a child with blaschkoid SK with onset during infancy. Dermoscopic evaluation showed comedo-like openings suggestive of SK. The benefits of performing shave biopsy were twofold. Diagnostic confirmation of it being SK and not SK-type of EN and therapeutic option of their simultaneous removal ensured prompt management. Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.
