Summary
Two cases show keratoacanthoma developing in organoid naevi. This suggests a potential link between these skin conditions, warranting further investigation into their shared etiology.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
Background:
- Organoid naevi are rare congenital skin growths.
- Keratoacanthoma is a common, rapidly growing skin tumor.

When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.
