A 43-year-old man with a crusted papule on the cheek was found to have a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Histologic examination of the skin lesion showed the characteristic features of warty dyskeratoma. A rare clinical photograph is presented and the clinical and histopathologic features are reviewed.
