%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Keratoacanthomas (KAs) following laser treatment are a rare, but well-described entity.<BR><B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Herein, we describe a case of eruptive keratoacanthoma (KA) following laser resurfacing treatment and aim to better characterize laser-associated KAs.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A literature search was performed on PubMed reviewing laser-associated KAs including various characteristics: epidemiology, history of skin cancer, location, and number, type of laser, as well as the management and outcome.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Fractional ablative was the most common type of laser triggering KAs, and most cases presented within the first month following treatment. The majority of cases of laser-induced KA had a prior history of a malignant or premalignant skin neoplasm. Laser-induced KAs were treated using modalities similar to KAs arising in other contexts.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Clinicians need to be knowledgeable and prepared to understand, and manage complications following laser treatments, as rare as they may be, including KAs.
