Abstract

CINTRON-MACHON, Gustavo  and  POVEDA-XATRUCH, Juan. Keloid scarring. Acta méd. costarric [online]. 2008, vol.50, n.2, pp.87-93. ISSN 0001-6002.

The scarring process is the final and definitive repair of accidental, surgical and other types of wounds. 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. On this article we will talk about general aspects, physiopathology and treatment of keloid scars.

Keywords : scar; keloid; collagen.
