Slide 1-

Management of Keloids By: Thad Riley Advisor: Bill Grimes
Slide 2-

What is a Keloid? Non-cancerous fibrous proliferations that occur in the dermis after trauma or injury to the skin Keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound site (vs. hypertrophic scar) Etiological factors that determine how a scar becomes a keloid remain unknown
Slide 3-

Who and Why? Individuals with darker-pigmented skin or who freckle are more predisposed Seen largely in Africans, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians Can be a familial/genetic predisposition Can be due to immunological causes Bottom line… No one knows!
Slide 4-

How? (Pathophysiology) A result of an overactive inflammatory response and fibroblast proliferation A result of an abnormal collagen deposition in healing skin wounds Skin wound tension is a contributing factor in keloid formation Individuals with an inflammatory or infectious element are at a predisposition for keloids

So…What’s the Problem?
Slide 13-

The Problem PROBLEM is with the TREATMENT OPTIONS The pathophysiology of these scars is so poorly understood that it is basically unknown Surgery is the only approved treatment A successful surgical protocol for removal of these types of scars is greatly lacking Surgical treatments available today only provide temporary relief Often grow back and do so in an aggressive manner
Slide 14-

Possible Solutions Surgical excision alone Post-surgical treatment agents: Mitomycin C solution The dietary compound quercetin Imiquimod 5% topical cream Intralesional corticosteroid injection Topical silicone gel sheets
Slide 15-

How they work… Mitomycin C solution (MC) An anti-neoplastic agent Has anti-proliferative effects on fibroblasts, stopping keloid formation MC effectively blocks angiogenesis during the healing process of the wound, thus inhibiting keloid development MC is widely available and relatively cheap
Slide 16-

How they work… The dietary compound quercetin most common sources: apples, onions, red wine, and ginkgo biloba. has strong anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial characteristics Inhibit keloid fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, and contraction of keloid derived fibroblasts
Slide 17-

How they work… Imiquimod 5% topical cream Induces apoptosis in keloidal tissue Intralesional corticosteroid injection Inhibit fibroblast growth and break down collagen deposition postoperative steroid injection is the most common form of keloid treatment corticosteroids commonly used include hydrocortisone and dexamethasone.
Slide 18-

How they work… Topical silicone gel sheets Impermeable to water, reduces hemostasis and therefore, decreases the hyperemia and fibrosis often associated with keloids have been used for more than twenty years to help reduce the size of scarring efficacy and safety of the silicone gel sheets is well established.
Slide 19-

And the Winner is… Imiquimod 5% topical cream
Slide 20-

Analysis 13 keloids from 12 patients were surgically removed All keloids were present for at least 1 year and free of any treatment for the past 2 months A thin layer of imiquimod 5% cream was applied topically each night for 8 weeks 4 week asessments At 24 weeks, no keloids had recurred Pilot study of the effect of postoperative imiquimod 5% cream on the recurrence rate of excised keloids (Berman and Kaufman, 2002 )
Slide 21-

Analysis 2 cases of irritation and superficial erosion were reported; resolved with cessation of the cream At the 24 week assessment, RECURRENCE RATES of keloids treated with imiquimod 5% cream were LOWER than any previously reported in the literature Pilot study of the effect of postoperative imiquimod 5% cream on the recurrence rate of excised keloids (Berman and Kaufman, 2002 )
Slide 22-

Analysis Study did not control for the effects of vehicle application or other potential variables Further comparative studies with longer follow-up periods are needed Additional studies needed to determine dosing frequency and duration Pilot study of the effect of postoperative imiquimod 5% cream on the recurrence rate of excised keloids (Berman and Kaufman, 2002 )
Slide 23-

Conclusion To develop a successful treatment plan for the keloid, two things have to be done: 1. Further research to better understand the causes behind keloid formation 2. Establish a standard surgical protocol In short, the topic of keloids is greatly under-exposed.
