Summary A 45‐year‐old man presented with a rapidly enlarging keratotic lesion of the distal subungual right middle finger. An X‐ray of the digit revealed a well‐defined cup‐shaped lytic lesion of the phalynx underlying the subungual nodule. The lesion resolved spontaneously with reossification of the underlying bony defect. The clinical history and X‐ray is consistent with a diagnosis of spontaneously resolving subungual keratoacanthoma.
