Keratoacanthoma (KA) is classically a benign skin neoplasm that occurs on damaged photo. But the relationship between squam cell carcinome and keratoacanthoma is still on. To date, no clinical or histological criteria can confirm the diagnosis. The very different biologic tendency of rapid onset and spontaneous regression seen in typical KAs has led many clinicians and dermatopathologists to view this lesion as a noninvasive benign entity distinct from SCC. Many authors suggest that there is no single histopathological diagnostic criterion to differentiate KA from traditional SCC. We report A cases of a patients with a Keratoacanthoma that behaved as an invasive SCC.

Spontaneous regression of conjunctival keratoacanthoma

et al. 2019

An 83-year-old white man presented with a rapidly growing conjunctival mass in his left eye over the course of 1 month. While awaiting surgical intervention, the tumour underwent partial, spontaneous regression to half its original size. The lesion was ultimately excised with wide margins using a no-touch technique and application of cryotherapy to the corneal and conjunctival margins and scleral bed. Histopathological analysis revealed a conjunctival keratoacanthoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case documenting the partial, spontaneous regression of a conjunctival keratoacanthoma over a 5 week time course from the time of diagnosis to surgical excision.
