Seborrheic keratosis can be in the form of multiple, solitary, disseminated lesions in old age, dermatosis papulosa nigra and also in the form of Leser-Trelat signs. The diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis is made through anamnesis, physical examination and by histopathological examination. There are various histopathological features of seborrheic keratosis, this literature review aims to explain the various clinical features of seborrheic keratosis along with their histopathological features and can assist readers in determining the type of seborrheic keratosis when they come across such cases.
