Plantar keloids: diagnostic and therapeutic issues in six patients

“…These clinical features, and particularly the hyperkertotic rim, have been observed in previously reported cases . Extraplantar locations of keloids, as seen in four patients from our study and in two previously published cases, can be helpful to the diagnosis. Only one patient remembered the history of trauma, the absence of such information should not rule out the diagnosis of keloid.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the most important published series of plantar keloids. In fact, there has been very few case reports .…”

“…In fact, there has been very few case reports. [8][9][10][11] The rarity of pilo-sebaceous units could be one explanation for the rarity of plantar and palmar keloids. 13 Pressure exerted against plantar skin in a standing position is another hypothesis, which cannot explain the rarity of palmar keloids.…”

“…The most common locations of keloids are earlobes, the presternal area, neck and shoulders . Plantar keloids are very rare and, until now, only a few isolated cases have been reported . This rarity may lead clinicians and pathologists to favour alternative diagnostic hypotheses such as plantar fibromatosis or tumours, and even suggest nonadapted aggressive surgical approaches.…”

“…2 Plantar keloids are very rare and, until now, only a few isolated cases have been reported. [8][9][10][11][12] This rarity may lead clinicians and pathologists to favour alternative diagnostic hypotheses such as plantar fibromatosis or tumours, and even suggest nonadapted aggressive surgical approaches. The aim of this study was to describe several cases of plantar keloids, focusing on their clinical characteristics, histopathological features, differential diagnosis and management.…”
