Keratoacanthomas (KA) are rapidly enlarging tumours that arise in sun-damaged skin of elderly patients. They typically progress in a few weeks to reach considerable size (2 cm on average). After a few more months, the lesion self-regresses. Surgery is commonly required as KA can be confused on examination with proper skin cancer.
