Keratoacanthoma is an epithelial tumour derived from hair follicles. Clinical and histopathological features of keratoacanthoma can resemble that of squamous cell carcinoma. Different treatment alternatives have been described over the years including intralesional methotrexate injection. We present an interesting case of treatment of solitary keratoacanthoma lesion on the nose with intralesional methotrexate as non-surgical therapy.

Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old woman with several autoimmune and metabolic conditions presented with a painful skin rash characterized by raised, yellow-centered plaques on sun-exposed areas.
- A biopsy revealed specific histopathological features that led to a diagnosis of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG), a rare inflammatory skin disorder potentially triggered by sunlight exposure.
- The patient showed significant improvement after being treated with ciclosporin, alleviating symptoms like itching and pain, highlighting the challenges in managing AEGCG, which is often resistant to standard treatments.
