| Name | vulvar keratoacanthoma |
| Definition | A vulva squamous cell carcinoma that is rapidly growing, self-limited, and characterized by the presence of a central crater that contains squamous cells. The proliferating squamous cells infiltrate the dermis below and produce keratin masses that are pushed towards the surface of the tumor. It is considered a variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with distinct clinical behavior. https://ncit.nci.nih.gov/ncitbrowser/ConceptReport.jsp?dictionary=NCI_Thesaurus&ns=ncit&code=C40288, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24719870 |
