Successfully Treated Toe Keloid after Syndactyly Release with Macrodactyly : A Case Report

Abstract

 Toe keloids may develop after syndactyly release. A combination of syndactyly and macrodactyly is associated with postoperative keloids. There is no established treatment for pediatric toe keloids because keloid formation on the toes is relatively rare. Herein, we report a successfully treated 3-year-old boy with a toe keloid after syndactyly release. He had congenital syndactyly with macrodactyly and underwent primary surgery at one year of age. Keloid presence was observed postoperatively, and he was referred to our hospital. At the age of three, we performed surgical excision and skin grafting, followed by postoperative radiotherapy, drug therapy, and compression therapy. Seven years after the operation, recurrence has not been observed.
