Recalcitrant Breast Lymphangioma Circumscription Treated by UltraPulse Carbon Dioxide Laser

Abstract: Like continuous-wave CO2 laser systems, the newer, high-energy, short-pulse CO2 laser may be effective in vaporizing some of the surface lymphatic vessels, which may in turn seal some of the communicating channels to the deeper cisterns, yielding functionally and cosmetically acceptable results for this difficult disorder. However, given the nature of the lesion, the potential for recurrence exists no matter what modality is chosen.

“…The use of other treatment modalities has been advocated; these include cryotherapy, sclerotherapy, and cautery. Vaporization with a carbon dioxide laser has been tried with good results [19] . Conservative management with observation has been recommended by some surgeons in asymptomatic patients [12] .…”

“…Bu tedavi yaklaşımların birçoğundan derin komponentlere ulaşımdaki yetersizliği ve multifokal lezyonlara bağlı yüksek nüks oranları nedeniyle yüz güldürücü sonuçlar alınamamaktadır 3 . LS tedavisinde ablatif ve ablatif olmayan pek çok lazer kullanılmış olup her biri için değişik başarı oranları bildirilmiştir [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] derindeki yapılarla bağlantılı lenfatik kanalları kapatan karbondioksit lazerden başarılı sonuçlar alınmıştır. Ancak karbondioksit lazer gibi ablatif lazerlerin lokal veya genel anestezi gerektirmesi ve belirgin sikatris bırakması gibi dezavantajları bulunmaktadır 8,9 .…”

Ancak karbondioksit lazer gibi ablatif lazerlerin lokal veya genel anestezi gerektirmesi ve belirgin sikatris bırakması gibi dezavantajları bulunmaktadır 8,9 . Vasküler lezyonların tedavisinde kullanılan PDL'ler vasküler dokuların termal gevşeme zamanlarına en uygun atımlar üreten ve bu nedenle de bu amaçla kullanılan lazerler içinde sikatris ya da pigmentasyon bozukluğu oluşturma riski en az olan lazerlerdir.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] However, because recurrence of lymphangioma in the oral cavity is very common with surgical or laser excision, and because of their infiltrative nature, our treatment could be considered as a safe treatment. A high recurrence (54/191 lesions) rate was noted in a previous study; 40% of these were found after laser excision.…”
