The diagnostic value of imaging techniques for keratoacanthoma: A review
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a fast-growing skin tumor with solitary KA being the most common type. KAs rarely metastasize and subside spontaneously. Although histopathology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of KA, its histopathological features are sometimes difficult to distinguish from those of o...

description | Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a fast-growing skin tumor with solitary KA being the most common type. KAs rarely metastasize and subside spontaneously. Although histopathology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of KA, its histopathological features are sometimes difficult to distinguish from those of other skin tumors. Imaging studies have certain advantages in the preoperative diagnosis of KA; they not only show the exact shape of the lesion but can also accurately determine the extent of the lesion. Combined with histopathological examination, these findings help establish a diagnosis. By summarizing the imaging features of KA, this article aimed to improve radiologists’ understanding of the disease and help in the clinical and differential diagnosis of KA. |
