A keloid is a "nodular, firm, often linear mass of hyperplastic thickish scar tissue, consisting of irregularly distributed bands of collagen; occurs in the dermis, usually after trauma, surgery, a burn, or severe cutaneous disease."[1] Cold & Taylor (1999) reported that keloid formation is rare.[2]
Case reports
Demirdover et al. (2012) reported a case of keloid on the ventral surface of the penis of a three-year-old boy after a circumcision surgery. The boy was treated by excision of the keloid. A silicone gel sheet and topical steroid was used for eight weeks after surgery. The keloid did not recur.[3]
Alyami et al. (2019) surveyed six cases of keloid formation after various pediatric genital surgeries, including circumcision. All cases were successfully treated with surgery, steroid injections, and silicone gel application.[4]
Cappuyns et al. (2019) presented a case report of a 13-year-old boy in Malawi who developed a keloid on his penis after a traditional circumcision. The keloid was removed by a consultant plastic surgeon under general anaesthesia. The surgery was followed by periodic injections of corticosteroid for six months.[5]
