We present a male patient of Asian ethnicity with a solitary keratoacanthoma of the finger, which was treated by curettage combined with photodynamic therapy following initial unsuccessful treatment by cryotherapy. After three sessions of photodynamic therapy, the lesion had completely disappeared. There was no evidence of recurrence after 3 months of follow-up.
