Keloid is an uncommon abnormal scarring of the skin that extends beyond the boundaries of the initial injury.

General

  • Sites of previous trauma/surgery/burn, especially in dark skinned individuals.[1]
  • Various treatments:
    • Surgery.
    • Radiotherapy.
    • Injections: corticosteroid such as triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog).[2][3]

Note:

  • Reported as "keloidal-type collagen"; the clinician decides between hypertrophic scar and keloid.
    • A keloid grows beyond the boundaries of the injury site,[4] a hypertrophic scar does not.

Gross

  • Scar formation beyond the initial injury site.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Thick collagen bundles - surrounded by paler staining fibroblasts - key feature.
  • Lesion replaces adnexal structures, e.g. hair, sweat glands.

COMMENT:
The findings are consistent with a hypertrophic scar or keloid; clinical correlation is required.
