Abstract:
Keratoacanthoma is an epithelial tumour derived from hair follicles. Clinical and histopathological features of keratoacanthoma can resemble that of squamous cell carcinoma. Different treatment alternatives have been described over the years including intralesional methotrexate injection. We present an interesting case of treatment of solitary keratoacanthoma lesion on the nose with intralesional methotrexate as non-surgical therapy.
