Abstract

Keloids are benign fibrous tumors resulting from an abnormally healed skin wound. There is many modalities in its management with variable results. Our aim is to evaluate the role of excision of keloid and postoperative electron beam irradiation. In our study 10 patients (10 males, 3 females) had their keloid excised with primary closure of the skin and electron beam irradiation was given starting within the first week, 6 MeV 1500 cGy/5 ttt every other day. The patients were followed up for 6 months, results were highly satisfactory. Only 2 patients showed hypertrophic scar yet they were satisfied.
