title: [Spontaneous keloids: about a rare case].
abstract: A 21-year-old woman presented with keloids on her back and her chest. All these scars appeared spontaneously without previous trauma, dermatologic disease or surgery. The spontaneous keloids are lesions rarely described in caucasoid subjects. Their exact physiopathology is still unknown. After a brief review of the literature, the therapeutic strategies will be described.
