[Intra-keloid excision and deferred corticoid infiltration in the treatment of keloids. University Hospital Center of Treichville-Abidjan]. / Exérèse intra-chéloïdienne et infiltration différée de corticoïdes dans le traitement des chéloïdes. (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Treichville-Abidjan).

On a series of 38 keloid surgery patients the authors noted a strong female predominance and the frequency of ear lobule keloid. After some rather unsuccessful excision-suture of the keloid they recommend the intra- keloid excision to be followed by a late corticoid infiltration but deferred until the 15th day. The results obtained were encouraging but some researches have to be made with regard to the etiology of this affection which might probably resolve the therapeutic problem.
