Abstract:
A 53-year-old Caucasian with keloid formation on the palmar surface of the hand following Dupuytren's contracture release is presented. Only two other cases of keloid formation on the hand have been found in English literature, both on black patients. This is the first known case with association of Dupuytren's disease to be reported. Surgical excision of the keloid with intraoperative injection of triamcinolone of the wound edges resulted in clinical cure.
