Abstract
- Keloids are benign fibrous tumors which extend beyond the original wound. Methods of treatment include surgical excision, radiotherapy, intralesional steroid injection, cryotherapy, silicon gel and combined therapy. Postoperative irradiation or steroid injection could be an effective method for prevention of recurrence after surgical treatment. We report a case of earlobe keloid which occurred after ear piercing. It was treated by excision and saved autograft using the overlying skin of the keloid and then immediate corticosteroid intrawound injection after excision.
