Multiple Apocrine Hidrocystomas of the Eyelids: A Case Successfully Treated Using Ultrapulsed Carbon Dioxide Laser and Literature Review
2019
Apocrine hidrocystomas of the eyelids are cystic tumors that have their origin in the glandular portion of the
apocrine gland; in most cases they cause only mild or absent symptoms, but they may annoy patients when in huge
number, usually interfering with the field of view and disfiguring of upper part of the face. Consequently, those
affected usually ask these lesions to be removed. Although a solitary lesion can be treated easily with surgical excision,
the elimination of multiple lesions may be problematic because of their number and locations. Many approaches
were proposed for solving this particular clinical presentation. We present a difficult case of multiple apocrine
hidrocystomas successfully treated using carbon dioxide laser with a good cosmetic outcome taking the opportunity
for a literature review.
