Abstract
Subungual keratoacanthoma is a rare benign neoplasm which most commonl y occurs in middle-aged Caucasians. It usually presents as a painful, rapidly growing lesion of the terminal phalanx. Radiography consistent ly demonstrates a well-defined cup-shaped erosion of the underlying bo ne. Clinically, subungual keratoacanthoma must be distinguished from s ubungual squamous carcinoma. We report four further cases and discuss the literature.
