Pilonidal sinus is a very common inflammatory disease of the gluteal region. The ideal method of pilonidal sinus treatment should have a low recurrence rate with minimum excision. Moreover, the treatment method should have a short hospitalization time, should let the patient return to his normal life rapidly, should cause minimum loss of labour and should result a small scar only. In the presen...

Endometriosis is the ectopic location of endometrial stroma and glands outside uterine cavity. Skin endometriosis usually seen after cesarean section. Patients have pain, swelling sometimes bleeding at scar site associated with menstruation. The definitive diagnosis in these patients surgical excision.

BACKGROUND The elliptical excision is the standard method of removing benign skin lesions, such as congenital melanocytic nevi. This technique allows for primary closure, with little to no dog-ear deformity, but may sacrifice normal tissue adjacent to the lesion, resulting in scars which are unnecessarily long. This study was designed to compare the predicted results of elliptical excision with...

Introduction. Development of malignancy in chronic burn scars is described i n 2 % cases, with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) being the most frequent. It develops several years after injury, as a consequence malignant transformation chronically in-flamed tissue. Melanoma scar is, however, quite rare; synchronous or metachronous appearance melanoma and cSCC was noted. Based on previous...

High-mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB-1) plays a central role in the inflammatory network, and uncontrolled chronic inflammation can lead to excessive scarring. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on scar formation. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 30) underwent dorsal excision of the skin, followed by skin repair. PDRN (8 mg/kg) was a...

Dear Editor, We herein present three rare cases of penile keloids that formed after circumcision and were effectively treated with a combined modality. We also discuss their possible causes. The current complication rate for male circumcision is 2%–4%. Hematoma, edema, infection and incision dehiscence are encountered more often, while keloid formation, a common complication after skin injury o...
