title: A rare complication after circumcision: keloid of the penis.
abstract: Keloids are benign hyperproliferative growths of dermal collagen that usually result from excessive tissue response to skin trauma. Although benign, they may be seen as a painful and/or pruritic lesions. A 15-year-young boy was admitted to our clinic with an enlarged scar and pain on the penis for about 1 year after a routine circumcision operation. Complete surgical resection of the lesion was done and histopathological examination revealed keloid of the penis.
