Keloids are benign tumors that usually develop as an excessive healing response to injury. They remain a challenging therapeutic problem to this day. Numerous treatment approaches are available, yet therapeutic results are often not satisfactory. A female patient with multiple spontaneously developed keloids on her trunk is presented. In this patient, four different therapeutic options were employed at different sites, with variable responses. The first option included cryotherapy, with poor effect. Slight flattening was observed after intralesional corticosteroid therapy. Treatment with excision followed by radiotherapy resulted in recurrence after 3 months. The best effect was noticed when excision and injection of corticosteroids into surgical margins were followed by radiotherapy. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of three-modal therapy in the management of keloids, which resulted in no recurrences over a 3-year follow-up.
