Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis are common, benign epidermal tumours that present as asymptomatic, pigmented papules with a stuckon appearance. Stucco keratosis is a type of seborrheic keraosis which has a scaly verrucous surface and can be scrapped off by scratching. Seborrheic keratosis is usually associated with advancing age and ultraviolet light exposure. Herein, we describe a case of stucco keratosis present only over the full thickness skin graft site in a young male. The tumours developed soon after skin grafting was done for a defect produced after a road traffic accident. Skin grafts are associated with skin barrier dysfunction and lymphatic compromise which may produce immunocompromised cutaneous districts and lead to seborrheic keratosis.
