Filiform Warts in Dermatoscopic Practice: Case Reports

Exophytic papillary structures are very important for dermatoscopic diagnosis of skin formations and are characteristic of all three presented pathologies (nevus sebaceous, seborrheic keratosis and filiform warts). These structures, along with other dermatoscopic features, may be detected in nevus sebaceous secondary to syringocystadenoma papilliferum. Dermatoscopic examination gives us the opportunity to accurately determine the role of important structures in the diagnosis of both specific formations and "filiform" warts attached to them. We present a dermatoscopic review of two interesting cases with filiform warts on benign growths.
