Summary

Clear cell acanthoma is a rare benign epidermal tumor of unknown etiology. It occurs in middle aged patients, equally in men and women, with predilection on lower extremities. Clinically it manifests as a solitary slowly growing papular lesion of pink to red colour. We describe a case, in which dermatoscopy turned out to be very useful in the lesion diagnostics.

Keywords:
