Four-Leaf Clover Shape Agglomerate Keratoacanthomas: A Case Report

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol. 2024 Apr 24;17:921-924. doi: 10.2147/CCID.S453734. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTKeratoacanthoma (KA) is a papule, plaque, or nodule in an exposed area, with a crater-like horn plug in the center. Multiple KAs are rare disorders, especially when the lesions are agglomerated together. Herein, we report a case of 65-year-old man who presented with four red nodules of different sizes on the right side of the chest. The lesions were clustered, with central keratotic cores, similar in appearance to a four-leaf clover. The nodules were completely removed by excisional surgery and the diagnosis of Agglomerate KAs was made based on clinical and pathological results. A 6-year follow-up found no recurrence.PMID:38699406 | PMC:PMC11063467 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S453734
