Giant right plantar keloid treated with excision and tissue-engineered allograft

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2003 Jan;48(1):131-4. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2003.48.

Abstract

Plantar keloids are a management problem as a result of the pain and mechanic restriction with ambulation. We present the treatment of a patient with a particularly large plantar keloid that was refractory to multiple excisions, adjunctive intralesional steroids, and radiation therapy, who was successfully treated with excision, intralesional steroids, and tissue-engineered allograft placement.
