We report a case of keratoacanthoma in a non-sun-exposed nasal vestibule of an 84-year-old man. He presented with a progressively growing left nasal mass that had been present for 8 months. Examination showed a non-tender protruding mass arising from medial vestibular wall of the left nostril. Histopathology indicated it was a keratoacanthoma. In an elderly patient with a history of a progressively growing mass in the nose, a differential diagnosis of malignancy should be ruled out, and histological conformation is essential. To our knowledge, only a very small number of cases of nasal vestibular keratoacanthoma have been reported.
我们报告了一例发生在一名84岁男性非阳光暴露部位鼻前庭的角化棘皮瘤病例。他出现左侧鼻腔肿物并逐渐增大，已持续8个月。检查发现左侧鼻孔内侧前庭壁有一个无压痛的突出肿物。组织病理学检查表明这是一个角化棘皮瘤。对于有鼻腔肿物逐渐增大病史的老年患者，应排除恶性肿瘤的鉴别诊断，组织学确诊至关重要。据我们所知，仅有极少数鼻前庭角化棘皮瘤病例被报道。
