This is a current complete and review of keloid scarring as a dermal - epidermis and neoplasic disease. The physiopathology of keloid scar formation is based on an abnormal collagen structure and alteration of healing phases. Keloid scar is a cosmetic complication undesirable for all surgeons, but it is more important in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
