Treatment of Multiple Facial Syringomas with the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser

Abstract

The CO2 laser is a dependable, safe, and nonscarring method for the treatment of periorbital syringomas.

Siringomas periorbitários - excisão com tesoura de castroviejo: experiência em 38 pacientes e revisão da literatura

“…Underscoring the treatment of multiple perior- point, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] the results of the observation are similar to those reported in the literature, whatever the chosen technique. The destruction of the lesions by electrosurgery may produce scars and/or relapses with greater frequency, given the tumor's histological features, above all the location of its differentiation.…”

“…[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] The first reports referred to continuous CO 2 laser, 23 with disastrous results owing to the increased risk of scarring. The most frequently mentioned type is pulsed CO 2 laser, which reduces the risk of scarring and gives excellent esthetic results, and may even be performed without anesthesia or with only topical anesthesia.…”

“…The most frequently mentioned type is pulsed CO 2 laser, which reduces the risk of scarring and gives excellent esthetic results, and may even be performed without anesthesia or with only topical anesthesia. [25][26][27]29,30 The use of a 1-mm-handpiece provides additional advantage, further reducing the risk of scarring. 27 The literature also refers to the use of erbium laser 24 and alexandrite laser which requires prior tattooing.…”

“…The indicated therapeutic modalities aim to achieve careful and effective destruction or removal of the lesions and to avoid relapse and/or unnecessary unsightly scars. The literature thus includes a range of techniques including electrocautery or electrodissection, [16][17][18][19] surgical excision, [20][21][22] the use of different types of laser, [23][24][25][26][27][28] or techniques combining the use of trichloroacetic acid and CO 2 laser .…”

Eccrine Cylindroma of Lip

“…Syringomas are benign tumours of eccrine origin. most commonly found in the periorbital area [5). Malignant clear cell hidradenoma is an uncommon tumour of eccrine sweat gland origin that has a predilection for head and neck [6].…”
