Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a case related to skin squamous cell carcinoma but it is a selflimited case. It is usually seen in areas of exposed skin and rarely to be seen intra-orally. Here we present a case of oral keratoacanthoma on the alveolar ridge of the maxillae, which may arise as a result of trauma or unknown stimulus. The case was treated with liquid nitrogen for six sessions and completely resolving of the lesion was recorded without a scar formation. Cryosurgery for exophytic lesions either benign or malignant (well differentiated) is worthy to be recommended than traditional surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
