Are keloid and hypertrophic scar different forms of the same disorder? A fibroproliferative skin disorder hypothesis based on keloid findings.
Hypertrophic scars (HSs) and keloids are commonly seen as two different diseases by both clinicians and pathologists. However, as supported by histological evidence showing they share increased numbers of fibroblasts and accumulate collagen products, HS and keloid might be different forms of the same pathological entity, rather than separate conditions. To test this hypothesis, keloids from pat...

متن کاملCharacterization of hyaluronan and TSG-6 in skin scarring: differential distribution in keloid scars, normal scars and unscarred skin
BACKGROUND Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with increased synthesis during tissue repair. Tumour necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) is known to catalyze the covalent transfer of heavy chains (HC1 and HC2) from inter-α-inhibitor (IαI) onto HA, and resultant HC•HA complexes have been implicated in physiological and pathological processes related to re...
متن کامل[Keloid development on skin lesions after the application of a cream purchased over the internet].
The widespread use of the Internet by patients has made it easier for them to obtain information on their disorders. However, the Internet frequently provides unverified information and access to treatments of doubtful safety. We describe the case of a patient who developed keloid scarring after applying a cream purchased over the Internet to several skin lesions, probably melanocytic nevi. The...
متن کاملBiochemical and dynamic studies of collagen from human normal skin and keloid tissue.
Keloids are exuberant scars, in which collagen, fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans are overdeposited. Biochemical analysis of the collagen isolated from normal skin and keloid tissue by pepsin treatment, indicated an increase in the type III and GAG content. Viscosity measurements of collagen from normal skin and keloid tissue were used in the present study to establish the interaction between ...
