Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis in axilla is a very rare finding. Here, we describe the case of a 46-year-old woman who visited a dermatology Opd and complained of a lesion over her left axilla that had been there for six years. On examination single pedunculated cerebriform nodules black-tan in color surrounded by hyperpigmented halo at its base, firm to palpate, painless present over left axilla, it was non-bleeding. The histopathological examination revealed seborrheic keratosis which is a very rare in axilla.
