Abstract

Keratoacanthomas (KA) are epithelial tumors that present as rapidly evolving nodules with a central hyperkeratotic plug, and occasionally show signs of spontaneous regression. A 21-years-old patient strongly refused the diagnostic biopsy and insisted on a non surgical treatment. He was successfully treated with imiquimod 5% cream.
