Abstract

Two young female patients with multiple small and large hypertrophic scars and keloids at the body and extremities, who suffered from pain and itching, were treated by the superficial radiation. The total radiation doses were 2900-3300 cGy./4-6 weeks. After the complete treatment, within 1-2 months, the hypertrophy of the lesions became flat, the symptoms were relieved and there was no recurrence after the one year of follow up after treatment.
