Keratoacanthoma is a cutaneous tumor that most
often presents as a solitary lesion in middle-aged to
elderly, light-skinned individuals on sun-exposed
areas. It is characterized by rapid growth and may be
followed by spontaneous involution. This is a case of
a seventy-year-old Filipino male who had a one month
history of a solitary nodule that suddenly appeared on
an epidermal nevus. Histopathologic diagnosis
revealed a keratoacanthoma.
