Abstract:
We present a 66-year-old woman who developed eruptive keloids in association with endometrial carcinoma in the absence of trauma, surgery, inflammation, or other known preludes to keloid formation. Keloid formation and endometrial carcinoma are both associated with similar cytokine abnormalities and as such, we hypothesize that this is a previously unreported paraneoplastic phenomenon.
