Keratoacanthoma is a frequently encountered benign epidermal neoplasm that clinically manifests as a dome-shaped keratin-filled crater, typically found on sun-exposed regions. It is believed to originate from hair follicles due to exposure to actinic rays. It resembles a low-grade squamous cell carcinoma both morphologically and microscopically. Although there are numerous pharmacological treatment options available, surgery is considered the gold standard for treating keratoacanthoma. We present a case of keratoacanthoma located on the lower lip that was surgically excised.
