Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a common skin tumor.
  • Generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma (GEK) of Grzybowski is an extremely rare variant.
  • This condition is characterized by a widespread eruption of numerous small KAs.

Observation:

  • The case presented exhibits typical features of GEK of Grzybowski.
  • Patients are typically in their fifth to seventh decades of life.
  • The eruption consists of hundreds to thousands of follicular papules, often pruritic with keratotic centers.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination reveals characteristic features of keratoacanthoma.
  • Marked facial involvement is a hallmark, potentially leading to complications like ectropion.

  • The disease follows a chronic course with limited response to treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case adds to the limited literature on GEK of Grzybowski.
    • Understanding the clinical and pathological features is crucial for diagnosis.
    • The poor response to therapy underscores the need for further research into effective treatments.
