ABSTRACT
A middle-aged lady presented with a firm, nontender mass on the left upper lid and area behind the left ear following lid reconstruction with postauricular graft for cicatricial ectropion 11 months prior. She had a similar mass on the right shin. She was diagnosed as a case of multiple keloids. Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide suspension and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in the upper lid keloid resulted in ulceration of its surface. Surgical excision, injection of 5-FU in the keloid bed with temporal forehead flap reconstruction, was performed. Occurrence of inadvertent postoperative wound infection with Acinetobacter baumannii was treated with local dressing with colistimethate sodium. Adjuvant therapy with topical imiquimod cream 5% was given subsequently for 24 weeks with no recurrence of the lid keloid after 16 months. The patient was managed using a combination of conservative and surgical therapy and multidisciplinary team work and kept on a long term follow-up.
