Summaries for Keratoacanthoma

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Keratoacanthoma is related to nodular malignant melanoma and actinic keratosis, and has symptoms including exanthema and pruritus. An important gene associated with Keratoacanthoma is MSH2 (MutS Homolog 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Endometrial cancer and Pathways in cancer. The drugs Azathioprine and Everolimus have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, thyroid and lung, and related phenotypes are digestive/alimentary and integument
