Abstract

Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a reactive epithelial proliferation secondary to a wide range of stimuli, including traumatic injury, inflammation, infection, and tumors of the skin. PEH secondary to burn injury is rarely reported. We report three cases of PEH patients after burn injury. All three cases were confirmed with the existence of bacterial infection, and all these cases were second- or third-degree burns. All three patients were treated with negative pressure wound therapy after wound debridement or tangential excision. All the wounds healed without split-thickness skin grafting and recurrence.
