Abstract

Keloids are benign fibroproliferative growth seen on the skin usually secondary to trauma. They are scar tissues that project above the skin surface and may be tender or pruritic. They cause functional and aesthetic discomfort to the patient. This is a case report of a 34 year old woman who was diagnosed as a case of keloid of the left auricle and treated surgically. Keloids have a high degree of recurrence even after treatment. It is crucial to differentiate keloids from hypertrophic scars and treat them accordingly.

Özet

Keloidler, genellikle travma sonrası ciltte görülen iyi huylu fibroproliferatif büyümelerdir ve cilt yüzeyinde görülen hassas veya kaşıntılı olabilen skar dokulardır. Hastada, fonksiyonel ve estetik rahatsızlığa neden olurlar. Bu olgu, sol kulak kemiğinde keloid tanısı almış, cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen 34 yaşında bir kadın hastayı tanımlamaktadır. Keloidler, tedavi sonrasında yüksek düzeyde nüks gösterebilmektedir. Kelodileri hipertrofik dokulardan ayırt etmek ve buna uygun olarak tedavi etmek çok önemlidir.
