dulxy071 Wouldn't Granulation tissue be the (more correct) answer since the initial collagen laid down for wound healing is Type III collagen which is consistent of granulation tissue? Collagen is a vast for so many types of itself as we know +3

kpjk @dulxy071 she had a surgery 3 months ago healing was fine even uptill 6 weeks ago so the abnormality occurred during remodeling- when type 3 is replaced by type 1 collagen, so the answer wouldnt be granulation tissue +5

pontiacfever Keloid has both 1 and 3 types of Collagen increased production. Whereas, granulation tissue consists of type 3 collagen only. which is why collagen synthesis as answer would be more specific +

johnthurtjr I think it may actually be a keloid, not a hypertrophic scar, as it expands beyond the borders of the original incision. +5

thepacksurvives I believe this is a keloid; a hypertrophic scar does not extend past the borders of it's original incision, while a keloid does. regardless, the answer to this question is the same :) +

breis First AID pg 219 Scar formation: Hypertrophic vs. Keloid +

charcot_bouchard They give granulation tissue is a option which is type 3 collagen. so if it was hypertrophic scar it would be ap problem since its only excessive growth of Type 3. while keloid is excessive growth of both 1 and 3 +4

bharatpillai I literally ruled put collagen synthesis defect since this is not a collagen synthesis defect at all ( EDS, Scurvy) :/ hate these kind of questions +
