A rare subungual keratoacanthoma case in a patient with psoriasis highlights the need for differential diagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma. Local removal is recommended, with prolonged follow-up due to potential recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Subungual keratoacanthoma is a rare tumor occurring under the nail.
  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can affect the nails.
  • Distinguishing keratoacanthoma from squamous cell carcinoma is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A case of subungual keratoacanthoma in a 64-year-old male patient with psoriasis.

Findings:

  • Differential diagnoses include squamous cell carcinoma and epidermoid cyst.
  • Recommended treatment is local surgical removal.
  • Recurrence is possible, even years after initial surgery.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering keratoacanthoma in subungual lesions, especially in patients with psoriasis.
