Area of Science:

Dermatology
Oncology

Background:

Keratoacanthomas (KAs) are common skin tumors.
Multiple KAs can present as a distinct clinical entity.

Observation:

A case of a 59-year-old man with a five-year history of multiple, spontaneously healing keratoacanthomas on the face and neck.
Lesions exhibited clinical and histological similarity to solitary KAs.

Findings:

Multiple keratoacanthomas, multiple primary squamous-cell carcinomas, and tumor-like keratoses may represent variants of the same disease process.
The etiology of multiple keratoacanthomas remains unknown.

Implications:

Close clinical surveillance is crucial for patients with multiple keratoacanthomas due to the potential for malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinomas.

Understanding the relationship between KAs and squamous cell carcinomas is important for patient management.
