Abstract
The article describes a case of successful treatment of multiple eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski in a 82-year old woman with concomitant advanced heart disease and chronic gastritis. The tumor was diagnosed in 1 of 256 patients with keratoacanthoma who attend our clinic, i.e. in 0,39% keratoacanthoma cases in general and in 0,96% among atypical keratoacanthomas. HLA-A2 gene characteristic for atypical keratoacanthomas was found in this patient. Acitretin was administered for 3 months at a daily dose of 20 mg. The treatment resulted in a full regression of the elements with residual areas of scarry atrophy and/or depigmentation. Flattening of the elements was obvious after 2 weeks. The patient tolerated the treatment well.
