Treatment of Keratoacanthomas with currettage.
The present paper reports the results of a follow-up study of 47 patients with keratoacanthomas treated solely with currettage. Only one recurrence was seen, and the cosmetic results were much better than those obtained with other types of treatment. Curettage must be considered the treatment of choice for keratoacanthomas on the face.
