Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a rare, chronic inflammatory scalp condition.
  • Medical treatments are common, but severe or refractory cases may require surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A case of severe, treatment-refractory AKN is presented.
  • The patient underwent surgical excision combined with direct split-thickness skin grafting.
  • Negative pressure wound therapy was utilized post-operatively.

Findings:

  • The combined surgical approach resulted in a satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome.
  • The healing period was relatively short, completing within six weeks.

Implications:

  • Surgical management, including skin grafting and NPWT, is a viable option for severe, refractory AKN.
  • This approach can lead to good aesthetic and functional results with efficient healing.
