ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This case report highlights a rare instance of concurrent keloid and epidermal cyst development at an ear cartilage harvest site following rhinoplasty in a 25-year-old woman. Both conditions, which typically stem from skin trauma, seldom occur together, demonstrating the exceptional characteristics of this case. CASESUMMARY:
The patient underwent successful surgical removal of both the keloid and the epidermal cyst. Postoperative treatment included the use of silicone sheets, gel, and oral tranilast to reduce scarring. No recurrence was observed over a 6-mo follow-up period, indicating effective management of the condition.CONCLUSION:
The effective management of complex skin trauma cases underscores the need for individualized treatment strategies in plastic surgery.
