Abstract

Abstract: We report a case of a 41‐year‐old male patient with no family history, presented with extensive multiple keratoacanthomas with disfiguring scars. The diagnosis of a sporadic form of Ferguson‐Smith syndrome was made. Treatment with acitretin showed a marked response. Recognizing this syndrome is crucial. Early treatment helps avoid scar formation. Abstract : Multiple keratoacanthomas of Ferguson‐Smith type is an autosomal dominant condition. Sporadic forms are possible. Multiple self‐healing kératoacanthomas in young adults are suggestive of the diagnosis. The linear distribution of lesions in our patient suggests mosaicism. Continuous treatment with acitretin induces long‐lasting clearance.
