Abstract

A 45-year-old man presented with a rapidly enlarging keratotic lesion of the distal subungual right middle finger. An X-ray of the digit revealed a well-defined cup-shaped lytic lesion of the phalynx underlying the subungual nodule. The lesion resolved spontaneously with reossification of the underlying bony defect. The clinical history and X-ray is consistent with a diagnosis of spontaneously resolving subungual keratoacanthoma.
