Annotation

The objective of this study is to describe a clinical case of melanoacanthoma, 
as a rare variant of seborrheic keratosis, which hides the ability to mimic
melanoma and determine the diagnostic algorithm for  patient management, 
further doctor’s tactics, based on clinical-dermatoscopy-pathomorphological 
features.
Materials and methods. Visual assessment of the neoplasm using the ABCDE
algorithm,  dermatoscopic examination to determine characteristic patterns
and the use of a scale of 11  criteria according to S. Menzies,  pathomorphological
and immunohistochemical studies. 
Results. A 32-year-old woman has a neoplasia suspicious for melanoma on 
the basis of a comprehensive visual and dermatoscopy examination. As a result 
of excisional removal and pathomorphological conclusion , it is legitimate
to formulate the final diagnosis in  the context of variation of seborrheic keratosis.
Conclusions.Melanoacanthoma is a rare variant of seborrheic keratosis that 
clinically resembles melanoma and requires anindivid-ualized diagnostic 
algorithm
