- Abstract:
- Treatment of keloid remains a great challenge for clinicians, in spite of numerous therapeutic regimens reported in the literature to date. Earlobe or postauricular regions are predominant locations for postoperative keloids due to the treatment of lop ears. There are several treatments that include intralesional steroid injections, surgical excision, cryotherapy, laser therapy, radiotherapy and pharmacotherapy. A case is presented with fourth recurrence of keloids after surgical treatment of lop ears with final satisfactory outcome after combined therapy that included surgical excision, skin flap transposition and radiotherapy. It is concluded that interdisciplinary approach that includes a combination of surgery and radiotherapy results in a satisfactory outcome of keloid treatment.
