By researching the evolution of the disease in this study, we aimed to summarize our experience of managing a rare patient who underwent five surgeries for keloidal dermatofibroma that developed sequentially in the upper arm and chest and propose a novel treatment for keloidal dermatofibroma. We concluded that keloidal dermatofibroma involving larger areas, high tension sites, and multiple localizations can be treated using the principles of pathological scar management.展开更多
