Abstract:
Seborrheic keratoses are benign skin tumors and exceedingly common. The etiology of seborrheic keratoses is unknown. Several possible causes such as genetic propensity, sun exposure, human papillomavirus and epidermal growth factors are suggested. Among these findings, their familial occurrences have been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of early-onset, multiple, familial seborrheic keratoses in a 36-year-old man.
