There are no currently available low-cost, noninvasive methods for discerning the depth of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) invasion or distinguishing SCC from its benign mimics, such as inflamed seborrheic keratosis (SK). We studied 35 subjects with subsequently confirmed SCC or SK. Subjects underwent electrical impedance dermography measurements at six frequencies to assess the electrical properties of the lesion. Averaged greatest intrasession reproducibility values were 0.630 for invasive SCC at 128 kHz, 0.444 for SCC in situ at 16 kHz, and 0.460 for SK at 128 kHz. Electrical impedance dermography modeling revealed significant differences between SCC and inflamed SK in normal skin (P < 0.001) and also between invasive SCC and SCC in situ (P
