Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis is a typical benign skin lesion that is almost always seen in elderly populations. Sudden onset and rapid increase in size and/or number of seborrheic keratoses is called the Leser-Trélat sign, suggesting a paraneoplastic appearance of internal malignancy. However, eruptive seborrheic keratoses are also described in some non-malignant conditions such as human papillomavirus infection and human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Herein, we describe a patient with eruptive seborrheic keratoses after recovery from COVID-19 infection with no evidence of internal malignancy.
This case was partially presented as a poster in the 102 nd Annual Congress of British Association of Dermatologists in Glasgow, Scotland from July 5th to7th 2022.(1).
The patient signed written informed consent to permit the publication of the case report without identifying data and to use the photography for publication. The researchers committed to maintaining patient confidentiality. Institutional ethics committee approved the case report (ethics code: IR.sums.med.rec.1400.384).
