Abstract
We report a case of keloid formation on the palm of the hand after trigger finger release. A 58-year-old male with trigger finger of the right index, middle and ring fingers was treated with open release at a nearby hospital. Three months after this operation, a progressively enlarging skin lesion formed at the surgical site. A diagnosis was made of keloid formation after trigger finger release, and keloid excision with full thickness skin graft and postoperative radiation therapy was done. One year postoperatively, the patient was asymptomatic and had not experienced a recurrence. This is a first report about keloid formation on the palm after trigger finger release. Our patient had a good outcome with keloid excision, full thickness skin graft and postoperative radiation therapy.
