Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon locally aggressive malignant neoplasm that most frequently appears in the trunk, followed by the extremities, head, and neck. But occurrence in the breast is extremely rare. We present a case of a 28-year-old woman, who had a history of trauma 5 years previously and excision 1 year before presentation at our clinic. We performed wide excision, together with microscopic and immunohistochemical analysis. No postoperative oncologic treatment was used a

Keloid formation is one of the most challenging clinical problems in wound healing. With increasing frequency of open heart surgery, chest keloid formations are not infrequent in the clinical practice. The numerous treatment methods including surgical excision, intralesional steroid injection, radiation therapy, laser therapy, silicone gel sheeting, and pressure therapy underscore how little is understood about keloids. Keloids have a tendency to recur after surgical excision as a single treatme

BACKGROUND: Keloids are often resistant to treatment and have high recurrence rates. To the best of the authors' knowledge, however, there have been very few case reports related to foot keloids. The purpose of this retrospective case-series was to summarize the baseline characteristics of a cohort of patients, introduce our treatment regimen for the successful treatment of foot keloids. METHODS: Patients were treated with surgical excision followed by full thickness skin grafting combined with

Keloid disorder is one of the most frustrating problems in wound healing and advances in our understanding of the differences of occurrence at a single site versus multiple sites might help in understanding pathogenesis and improving treatment.

Sir: We read with great interest the article by Ogawa et al. entitled “Analysis of the Surgical Treatments of 63 Keloids on the Cartilaginous Part of the Auricle: Effectiveness of the Core Excision Method.”1 The authors introduce their 6-year experience with the core excision technique for the treatment of keloids on the cartilaginous part of the auricle. As suggested by Dr. Ogawa, helical rim keloids are rarely discussed in the previous literature compared with earlobe keloids. Wide excision of
