Abstract
The article presents a case of a very rare disorder – generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski in a woman aged 82 years old. The disease is characterized by sudden emergence of hundreds or thousands of neoplasms (2–5 cm in diameters) rapidly spreading throughout the body skin. It is frequently associated with internistic cancer. In this case, generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski was diagnosed 4 years after the disease onset. The authors emphasize the role of proper diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. Aromatic retinoids were highly effective in the therapy of generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski.
