Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a relatively common low-grade malignancy that originates in the pilosebaceous glands. Pathologically resembles squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Many support classifying keratoacanthoma as a variant of invasive SCC. In most pathology/biopsy reports, dermatopathologists refer to the lesion as squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthoma-type.
Keratoacanthoma is characterized by rapid growth over a few weeks to months, followed by spontaneous resolution over 4-6 months in most cases. |
