    Keloid scars are a relatively common condition but extremely rare in the penis. This case aims to be added to the previous 34 cases of penile keloid reported in the literature. We present the case of a 15-year-old patient with a high keloid-forming tendency who was successfully cured of penile keloid scarring with excision alone and without any adjuvant therapy. No recurrence was reported over eight years of follow-up. In contrast, at the same time, recurrence is frequently observed in other body parts after excision, making this particular part of the body an area of less keloid occurrence and recurrence.

    Tuberous sclerosis is one of the rarest genetically linked disorders that can affect a multitude of body systems in various forms. Patients with facial angiofibroma may face issues arising from the various modalities and approaches that can be applied. Moreover, surgeons also face challenges in preparing patients for specific interventions. Here, we are reporting the two spectrums of this condition that may present, along with how we managed patients in our center. The first case is a severe form of tuberous sclerosis involving the skin as well as neurological manifestation, while the second case is a milder form. Both were treated with serial excision and electrosurgery, respectively. Facial angiofibroma in tuberous sclerosis can present in various spectrums. Serial excision and electrosurgery are deemed acceptable. Few advancements have been made in the management of this condition, and combination therapies have shown favorable outcomes. Optimizing patient comorbidities is imperative before intervention and multidisciplinary team involvement would ensure patient safety.
