Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Calcium electroporation

Arm Description

The keloid will be treated with intratumoral injection of calcium chloride followed by electrotransfer. It is a once only treatment. Calcium chlorid concentration is 9 mg/ml Total dose is 0,5ml/cm3 tumor volume.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Response evaluated by Vancouver Scar Scale
Vancouver scar scale evaluate the keloids by: pigmentation, pliability, height, and vascularity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse events to calcium electroporation.
Describe adverse events using Common Terminology for Adverse Events, version 4.0
