چکیده
DESCRIPTION A 12-year-old African American woman presented to a plastic surgeon with a 1-year history of a slowly growing soft tissue mass behind her left ear. According to her, she had chicken pox and a residual pock mark behind that ear. As a result of irritation in that area from her glasses, she developed a cosmetically deforming keloid shown on the left. The keloid was subsequently excised, but 1 year later, she developed recurrence of the keloid that measured 11 × 4 cm. The recurrent keloid is pictured on the right.
