Abstract: Keratoacanthoma (KA) is an epidermal neoplasma with rapid growth and severe local destruction. Owing to its similarities to squamous cell carcinoma, complete surgical excision is mainly recommended. Topical imiquimod is an ideal option for the problematic sites and cosmetic demands. Here we report a giant case of KA on a rare anatomical location, and fully recorded the disease process. The patient was treated successfully with topical imiquimod.
