Abstract
We report a 91-year-old male patient with keratoacanthoma (KA) of left temporal skin with atypia, treated with laser vaporization followed by radiation therapy. Also we report a 77-year-old female patient with KA of right temporal skin without atypia, treated with laser vaporization alone. The KA and squamous cell carcinoma similarity demands oncologist assistance for KA management.
