Beyond the borders of keloid formation: A case report.

Abstract
The keloid scar is a cutaneous mass characterized by nodular fibroblastic proliferation of dermis and a predilection for distinctive anatomical locations. However, keloid extension to neighbouring tissue as a nonsyndromic entity has not been described. In the present report, a case involving a 48-year-old woman with extensive bilateral keloids of the ear lobules and neck following ear piercing is presented.
