Stucco keratosis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A stucco keratosis is a common benign skin condition characterized by a lesion with a dull or lackluster surface, and with church-spire-like projections of epidermal cells around collagen seen histologically.[1]:769[2]:639 Stucco keratoses are often light brown to off-white, and are no larger than a few millimeters in diameter. They are often found on the distal tibia, ankle, and foot.[3]

Other names for a stucco keratosis are "digitate seborrheic keratosis," "dyperkeratotic seborrheic keratosis," "deratosis alba,"[4] "serrated seborrheic keratosis," and "verrucous seborrheic keratosis".
