“…Many different skin lesions were successfully treated with the argon laser, 17 including telangiectasia, 18 decorative tattoos, strawberry hemangiomas, venous lakes, Kaposi's sarcoma, 19 lymphocytoma cutis, 20 adenoma sebaceum, 21 rhinophyma and epidermal nevi. The number of different conditions treated with the argon laser is one indication of the tremendous clinical interest in this device.…”

The role dermatologists have played throughout the history of laser development is an extremely vital one. The initial interests of Dr. Leon Goldman stimulated many other individual dermatologists to further his work and develop surgical techniques using newer laser systems to provide more effective treatment for patients with a variety of skin diseases. The long list of current cutaneous laser applications developed by dermatologists makes it virtually certain that members of our specialty will continue to play a significant future role in the refinement of laser instrumentation and operative techniques that are inevitable to occur.

“…Thermal injury is usually limited to the upper 1 mm of the dermis. A clinical example of this limitation is the case of lympho‐cytoma cutis treated by Wheeland et al 49 Post‐treatment biopsies showed improvement of the inflammatory component to an average depth of 0.4–1.2 mm; the deeper inflammatory component persisted. This laser is most effective with lesions located in the superficial papillary dermis or epidermis.…”

The laser is becoming an increasingly important surgical and medical instrument in the field of dermatology. Developments in the areas of laser technology and application have significantly broadened its clinical use over the past several years. These rapid changes and advances in the use of the laser for cutaneous processes may make it difficult for the physician to maintain a current base of knowledge in this area. Relevant laser systems and their clinical applications are presented and discussed, as are investigational laser systems, which may be of importance for the future. This will allow the dermatologic surgeon the opportunity to update concepts and evaluate the various laser systems and their cutaneous applications.

“…Histologic examination of the lesion after surgical excision revealed unaltered glomus tumor underneath 2 mm of scar tissue (as measured from the basement membrane zone). The argon laser penetrates Caucasian human skin up to a depth of approximately 1 mm 15 and appears to selectively affect red blood cell‐containing vessels less than 0.5 mm in diameter that lie in the superficial dermis. It is possible that the more superficial vascular lesions respond better than the deeper ones.…”

Familial multiple glomus tumors are rare. A family is reported here with the disease documented in three generations. While this type of glomus tumor is not classically associated with pain, all members of this family who exhibited multiple glomangioma were symptomatic. Treatment with both the argon laser and carbon dioxide laser was successful in relieving symptoms and improving the appearance of only the more superficial glomus tumors.
