Abstract
The clinicopathologic case of a 76-year-old male with a giant tumor of the left eyelid is reported. Histopathological diagnosis was a keratoacanthoma. The lesion was treated with an injection of 5-Fluoro-Uracil and oral treatment with acitretin (Soriatane), causing the lesion to disappear quickly. Clinical and histopathological characteristics of keratoacanthoma are important to know because the differential diagnosis is epidermoid carcinoma. This treatment is original in that the surgical exeresis usually done in this kind of tumor would have been too mutilating for the eyelid in such a case.
