Article Synopsis
- Solitary keratoacanthoma (KA) is a benign skin tumor known for its quick growth and potential to shrink on its own, with its causes and classification still debated.
- A study involving 78 KA patients and 199 controls aimed to examine the link between smoking and KA, revealing that a significantly higher percentage of KA patients were smokers (69.2%) compared to controls (21.6%).
- The adjusted odds ratio indicated a strong association between smoking and KA (9.1), but factors like tumor size and location were not statistically linked to smoking habits.
