“…SCCs have the potential to become invasive and metastasize. However, reports of KAs metastasizing have also given support to the idea that KAs are a type of well‐differentiated SCC 18,22 . Other reports propose that similar to actinic keratoses, KAs may belong to a spectrum of premalignant lesions that can transform into SCCs over time 23 .…”

“…However, the lesion usually heals in a period shorter than a year and presents a cup-shaped fashion of growth, with lipping of the epidermis at the lateral margins of a solitary cornified crater. Distinction between keratoacanthoma and squamous cell carcinoma is very arbitrary and lesions of great dimensions and aggressive behavior should be treated as squamous cell carcinoma [24], Likely, the socalled atypical pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may in certain cases also be treated as carcinoma [25].…”
