“…The best treatment is to excise the keloid and minimize the keloid-forming risk factors so that it may need adjuvant therapy pre-or postoperatively. Lee et al developed the core extirpation technique [9], which requires sufficient removal of actively proliferating and collagen-producing fibroblasts to prevent recurrence with no adjuvant therapy [10]. Some studies have shown promising results with wide surgical excision [11].…”

Keloid scars are a relatively common condition but extremely rare in the penis. This case aims to be added to the previous 34 cases of penile keloid reported in the literature. We present the case of a 15-year-old patient with a high keloid-forming tendency who was successfully cured of penile keloid scarring with excision alone and without any adjuvant therapy. No recurrence was reported over eight years of follow-up. In contrast, at the same time, recurrence is frequently observed in other body parts after excision, making this particular part of the body an area of less keloid occurrence and recurrence.

“…Three cases underwent surgical excision, combined with topical steroids; two of the cases reported using betamethasone cream twice daily for 3 months 22 and the other case used unidentified "topical steroids" for 1 month. 23 One case underwent surgical excision with silicone sheet application. These methods resulted in no reported recurrence.…”

The formation of penile keloid after circumcision is an uncommon complication. Herein, we report two pediatric cases of large circumferential keloids that developed post‐circumcision and were successfully treated by surgical excision and intralesional triamcinolone injections. In addition, we provide a comprehensive review of the reported cases of penile keloids that developed after circumcision in the literature to highlight the various presentations, treatment options, and outcomes for this condition.

“…Keloids in the groin, especially those affecting the penis, are extremely rare despite frequent surgeries in the genital area. Only a few cases reported in the literature [41][42][43][44][45], hence the actual incidence is unknown.…”

Circumcision is by far the most common procedure done in hospitals of Muslim countries. Many research data have proven its benefits in protecting against numerous sexually transmitted diseases, urinary tract infections, and penile cancer in the patients and cervical cancer in partners. The procedure is quite safe, with a low overall complication rate. Most of the adverse events of circumcision are minor and can be managed conservatively. In some areas where circumcision is performed by an inexperienced individual, or are done in a non-sterile environment, or using the wrong equipment, complications requiring expert intervention are seen. Devastating results range from simple self-limiting swelling and superficial infection to the dreadful amputation to the glans or the whole phallus, necessitating an expert in reconstruction. Circumcision is a simple surgical procedure with minimal adverse events when done by competent trained medical personnel, in a wellcontrolled sterile environment, using the appropriate equipment.
