Squamous cell skin cancer

Alternate Names : Cancer - skin - squamous cell, Skin cancer - squamous cell, Nonmelanoma skin cancer - squamous cell, NMSC - squamous cell

Pictures & Images

Keratoacanthomas are rapidly growing, red (erythematous), dome shaped bumps (papules/nodules) with central craters. Occasionally, these will disappear spontaneously (involute). Often, they are treated to avoid further involvement or destruction of underlying tissue. They are of concern because of the similarity to squamous cell cancer.
