Conjunctival keratoacanthoma, a rare skin tumor, can mimic squamous cell carcinoma. This case highlights the importance of surgical excision and follow-up for accurate diagnosis and management of these rare conjunctival growths.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a common skin tumor, but exceptionally rare in the conjunctiva.
  • Distinguishing conjunctival KA from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can be challenging due to overlapping clinical and histopathological features.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 34-year-old woman presenting with a rapidly growing conjunctival mass.
  • The mass exhibited a crateriform appearance on histopathological examination, consistent with atypical keratoacanthoma.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical excision with a safety margin was performed to rule out SCC.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence during a 2-year follow-up period, supporting the diagnosis of conjunctival keratoacanthoma.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Conjunctival keratoacanthoma is a rare diagnosis that requires careful consideration in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival squamous lesions.
  • Complete surgical excision and vigilant follow-up are recommended for crateriform squamous proliferations of the conjunctiva to ensure accurate diagnosis and prevent recurrence.
