Area of Science:

Dermatology

Background:

Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum (KCM) is a rare variant of keratoacanthoma.
Characterized by peripheral growth and central healing.

Observation:

A case of multiple KCM lesions on the lower legs of a 48-year-old man is presented.
Lesions evolved over 3 years into annular plaques (5-20 cm) with specific border and center characteristics.
Asymptomatic, confluent plaques featured papulo-nodular, hyperkeratotic, crusted borders and cicatricial centers with minipapules.

Findings:

Diagnosis of KCM was confirmed by typical clinical presentation and characteristic histological features.
The report aims to detail clinical and histological aspects of KCM.
Effective treatment options for KCM will be discussed.

Implications:

This case contributes to understanding the clinical spectrum of KCM.
Highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective management.
Discussion of treatments may guide clinical practice for this rare condition.
