Feline cystadenomatosis is characterised by the development of numerous cysts of modified apocrine gland origin. Sequelae include structural or functional changes of the affected tissue(s), discomfort and secondary infections. While carbon dioxide laser ablation has been described for cystadenomatosis of the periauricular/auricular, lip, chin and perianal regions, peer‐reviewed studies using the therapy for eyelid cystadenomas (hidrocystomas) with histopathologic confirmation of diagnosis are lacking. This report describes the successful use of carbon dioxide laser ablation to treat eyelid manifestations of feline cystadenomatosis without adverse effect.
Canine periocular dermatitis may be associated with excessive facial folds and heavy brows (EFF‐HB). There is no gold standard therapy for EFF‐HB‐associated periocular dermatitis, and conventional medical management may fail. Herein, we describe periocular fluorescence photobiomodulation and rhytidectomy as novel approaches to treat EFF‐HB‐associated periocular dermatitis refractory to medical management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
