Abstract

Abstract. Keloids are commonly seen as a complication of earlobe piercing. As biopsies are usually not performed routinely in many instances, some of the lesions might, in fact, represent other entities, such as cutaneous pseudolymphoma. Contrary to keloids, for which surgery alone is not recommended, a simple excision or superficial x‐ray is sufficient in such cases. 1989 American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc.
