Keloid morphology. Keloid morphology varied within and across families. Shown is a single keloid on an earlobe and additional keloids on the cheek (A, family F), multiple keloids with areas of confluence in a severely affected individual (B, family D), classic "dumbbell" pattern keloid in the back (C, family H) and keloids on the upper back that have undergone spontaneous regression (D, family D). Certain families were more likely to show keloids in atypical locations such as extremities (E, keloids on the lateral thigh of an individual from family H) and axilla/groin (F, keloids in the axilla of an individual with hidradenitis from family F).
