title: Sudden appearance of multiple keratoacanthomas three weeks after thermal burns.
abstract: The sudden appearance of multiple keratoacanthomas in a patient who has sustained a thermal burn is extremely uncommon. This case report describes a sixty-four-year-old man who noted multiple keratoacanthomas within three weeks after being involved in a gasoline explosion. Multiple keratoacanthomas appear to be a rare complication of thermal cutaneous injury in predisposed persons.
