Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a common skin condition with a significant clinical history in Australia.
  • Geographical variations in KA incidence suggest environmental influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review Australian clinical experience with keratoacanthoma over five decades.
  • To summarize current knowledge on KA, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of clinical data and literature.
  • Discussion of documented cases and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Higher incidence of keratoacanthoma observed in warmer Australian regions.
  • Impact of immunosuppression on KA development and presentation noted.
  • Viral and immunological factors implicated in keratoacanthoma pathogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Keratoacanthoma remains a significant clinical challenge with ongoing research into its complex etiology.
  • Further investigation into specific subgroups and novel treatment modalities is warranted.
