MODEL RELEASED. Tumour excision scar on the thigh of a 61-year-old woman. The scar formed after the surgical removal of a lipoma,a benign fat tumour. Benign tumours can be removed if they become too large. A scar is an area of tissue formed when the body repairs a wound. To heal the wound,the body increases the production of collagen,a tough fibrous protein,to form connective tissue over the wound. This forms the red line seen here | |
