“…Laser treatments have usually been attempted for multiple trichoepitheliomas. Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser resurfacing, followed by photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid, or imiquimod 5% cream has been reported to achieve better clearance rates and aesthetic result than laser resurfacing alone in BSS lesions (7). In our patient, the treatment of trichoepitheliomas using regular ablative CO, laser caused scarring in the nasolabial area, while removal of small cylindromas from the scalp (Fig.…”

“…To confirm the diagnosis of BSS, mutation analysis of the CYLD gene was performed by sequence analysis of all coding exons [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], exon/intron boundaries and Q-PCR analysis (laboratory of the Department of Clinical Genetics of Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands). A splice-site mutation, 2350+5G>A in the exon 17 of the CYLD gene was found.…”

“…Takođe, u literaturi je opisana kombinovana terapija natrijumsalicilata i prostaglandina A (2, 7). Opisani su i pokušaji konzervativne terapije kombinovanjem aspirina, adalimumaba i topikalnog imikvimoda (20)(21)(22)(23), imikvimoda i topikalnih retinoida (24). Međutim, terapija koja poboljšava kozmetički aspekt i prevenira i minimizira ostale komplikacije jeste hirurška terapija (25).…”

“…Alternatively, ablation with carbon dioxide laser or erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser seem to achieve better cosmetic results, although with an uncertain evolution. Finally, photodynamic therapy, cryosurgery and microdermabrasion offer poorer results, and should preferably be used on a combined therapy basis …”
