A case report of massive mandibular keloid with severe infection induced by acne achieved resolution of skin lesions after combined treatment with surgery and high concentration single-dose 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA PDT). The patient achieved satisfactory effects, after receiving combined treatment with radiotherapy, secondary healing, intralesional injection of glucocorticoids, and other treatments. The scar didn't exhibit growth in a follow-up check after a year. This case provides evidence that photodynamic therapy is effective in the treatment of massive mandibular keloid with severe infection. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
