All the lesions were imaged with dermoscopy, analysed for dermoscopic patterns and features. An independent blinded histopathological diagnosis as well as dermoscopic diagnosis was made for each lesion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 416 lesions were analysed. Using histopathological diagnoses as the gold standard, the two\u2010step algorithm achieved a sensitivity of 79.1, a specificity of 78.3% (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01) and a <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic> index of 0.223. An optimized algorithm that combined lack of blue\u2013grey or blue\u2013white colour, sharp demarcation, mica\u2010like structure and yellowish colour with the two\u2010step algorithm demonstrated a sensitivity of 95.7%, a specificity of 78.3% (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and a <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic> index of 0.594. Pattern analysis revealed 12 dermoscopic patterns. The elevated lesions mainly presented fissures\/ridges pattern, exophytic papillary pattern, crypts pattern and mica\u2010like pattern; the flat lesions mainly presented structureless pattern and coral\u2010like pattern.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seborrhoeic keratosis may present a variety of dermoscopic patterns and features.
