- Hypertrophic scar redirects here.
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:
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.
DDx:
- Hypertrophic scar.[5]
- Dermatofibroma - esp. keloidal dermatofibroma.[6]
