BACKGROUND: Ear keloids are disfiguring disorders resistant to various treatments.
OBJECTIVE: The authors aimed to assess the efficacy of surgical treatment of ear keloids in a Chinese population using a tongue flap with electron beam radiotherapy.
METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 41 patients treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between January 2018 and May 2021. Core excision with a tongue flap was performed, followed by 3 days of electron beam radiotherapy and 3 to 6 months of pressure clip application. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used to assess the results.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 28.10 years (9-61 years). Postoperative follow-up ranged from 5 to 32 months (mean:12.07). The patients underwent 3 days of postoperative radiotherapy followed by pressure clips for 2 to 6 months. Thirty-seven patients had no recurrence, whereas 4 had a mild recurrence (<3 mm in height) with redness and itchiness. The VSS and VASscores significantly decreased. (p < .05).
CONCLUSION: Excision with a tongue flap and radiotherapy can be used as the primary treatment for ear keloids considering the good outcome and long-term management.
