"Starke Keloidbildung am Rücken. Dr. med. O. Fischer" ("Heavy keloid formation at the back. Dr. O. Fischer"). Rear view of an African: large parts of his back and some parts of his arms are covered with an overgrowth of tissue. A keloid is an overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue that usually develops after healing of a skin injury. The tissue extends beyond the borders of the original wound, does not usually regress spontaneously, and tends to recur after excision.
