Multiple keratoacanthomas of Ferguson‐Smith type

Abstract

Abstract We report a case of a 41‐year‐old male patient with no family history, presented with extensive multiple keratoacanthomas with disfiguring scars. The diagnosis of a sporadic form of Ferguson‐Smith syndrome was made. Treatment with acitretin showed a marked response. Recognizing this syndrome is crucial. Early treatment helps avoid scar formation.
