tumour-like lesions - arise from connective tissue of scar and extend beyond original wound

''Predisposing factors''
ethnicity - inc with dark skin
more in young adults, rare in elderly
common sites (in order of decreasing frequency): sternum, shoulder, neck, face, extensor surface of limbs, trunk

less likely if incision made along relaxed skin tension lines (not same as langer lines - cadaver based)

''Treatment''
early on ? intra-lesional steroids e.g. triamcinolone
excision sometimes required
