“…However, relapse occurring during the hot summer has occasionally been noted. There was no comparable rejuvenating effect as seen in the present case [8] . Fractional CO 2 laser combines fractional photothermolysis and the formation of coagulation zones with an ablative 10,600-nm wavelength, which allows for the effective treatment of photoaging, rhytides, and scars.…”

Syringoma is a benign tumor of eccrine origin which arises from eccrine ducts. Syringomas are most commonly found on the eyelids in middle-aged women. Traditional treatments include surgical excision, curettage, peelings, dermabrasion and laser. We report on the successful use of fractional laser on periocular syringomas. A 53-year-old female patient with multiple periorbital syringomas underwent three sessions of fractional carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser. Settings of 20 watts of power, 600 μm of spacing, 800 μs of dwell, time stack 2 (Smartxide DOT, DEKA, Florence, Italy) were used. The sessions were performed monthly. Significant improvement of the esthetic appearance was observed after three sessions. There was a decrease of visible syringomas associated with an evident improvement of the skin texture, skin quality and flaccidity. No side effects were observed. We suggested continuing the treatment but the patient was satisfied with the current aspect and result. In conclusion, fractional CO 2 laser represents an effective treatment option for the treatment of periorbital syringomas.

“…There are case reports on regression of DNPX during treatment (of associated disorders) with cyclosporine A [ 11 ] or bexarotene [ 12 ]. DNPX can be treated by ablative lasers such as erbium-YAG laser [ 13 ][ 14 ].…”

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma (DNPX) is an uncommon subtype of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. DNPX is characterised by xanthelasma palpebrarum, diffuse plane xanthoma of the head, neck, trunk, or extremities, and normal plasma lipid levels. The neck is the most common site. We report about a 62-year-old female Caucasian patient, who developed an asymptomatic fine wrinkling and loose skin on the neck and décolleté about three years ago. The skin colour became yellowish. Xanthelasma was absent. Histopathology of a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of DNPX. The patient had a medical history of chronic myeloblastic leukaemia. No other laboratory abnormalities were found. Laser treatment was offered but opposed by the patient.

“…While small cysts may be treated by CO2- or erbium-YAG-laser [ 16 ][ 17 ][ 18 ][ 19 ], larger cysts need a surgical approach with cold steel [ 3 ][ 7 ][ 8 ]. Since skin sagging is a possible outcome after removal of larger cysts, a small sheet of the epidermis above the cyst is excised.…”

Epidermoid cysts are common benign lesions of hair-bearing, and less often glabrous skin. They can also occur in oral mucosa and internal organs. In case of cutaneous lesions, an epidermal punctum is a clinical diagnostic hallmark. The clinical presentation is variable leading to some differential diagnoses. Diagnosis of epidermoid cysts needs histopathological confirmation – not only of the potential of malignant transformation. The treatment of choice is surgery. We report a retrospective analysis of 2159 epidermoid cysts treated surgically. Most of the cases can be performed under local anaesthesia. The complication rate of 2.2% is low. To avoid relapses, the cyst wall has to be removed completely. Rare genetic disorders with multiple cysts are Gardner and Lowe syndrome.
