Milia-like cysts are round whitish or yellowish structures that are seen commonly, but not exclusively, in seborrheic keratosis under non-polarized dermoscopy. They can also be seen in melanocytic nevi, especially those with a congenital pattern. Sometimes milia-like cysts are pigmented and resemble globules. Milia-like cysts correspond to intraepidermal keratin horn pseudocysts [1].
