We have taken only elderly individuals for the study, which in turn may be an independent risk factor for
seborrhoeic keratosis. This may be the reason for lack of association with diabetes and obesity observed in the study.
Key words:
Seborrhoeic keratosis, breast carcinoma.
Key words: Seborrhoeic keratosis, linear, symmetrical, candidiasis.
