Keratoacanthoma is a relatively common neoplasm, which originates in pilosebaceous follicles. Several hypotheses have been proposed regarding the aetiopathogenesis, but it remains obscure. We report a case of a female patient presenting a keratoacanthoma on the left forearm, in the site of a previously made tattoo. Various skin disorders are referred to be associated with this trend. To our knowledge, this is the first case of keratoacanthoma arising in a tattoo.

Abstract

Keratoacanthoma is a relatively common neoplasm, which originates in pilosebaceous follicles. Several hypotheses have been proposed regarding the aetiopathogenesis, but it remains obscure. We report a case of a female patient presenting a keratoacanthoma on the left forearm, in the site of a previously made tattoo. Various skin disorders are referred to be associated with this trend. To our knowledge, this is the first case of keratoacanthoma arising in a tattoo.
