Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary objective of this retrospective study is to investigate patterns of the melanin-fluorescence spectra in pigmented seborrheic keratoses which were obtained before by means of dermatofluoroscopy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary objectives are the evaluation of the usability of dermatofluoroscopy in distinguishing melanoma from benign pigmented seborrheic keratosis and the differentiation between various types of seborrheic keratoses based on specific fluorescence signals and comparison of these results with clinical diagnosis.
