A Case of Surgical Excision with Radiation Therapy on the Both Auricular Huge Keloids

A keloid is defined as uncontrolled benign proliferation of dense fibrous scar tissue. Various techniques have been proposed to treat keloid, and now combination techniques such as surgery with radiation therapy gain ground because of frequent recurrences. We report a case of a 22-year-old male who was treated with radiotherapy after surgical excision on the both auricular huge keloids. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2005;16:160-162)
