Multiple clear cell acanthomas, a rare condition, can be effectively treated with cryotherapy. This method offers a convenient and quick treatment option with minimal scarring compared to surgical excision.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Oncology

Background:

Clear cell acanthomas are typically solitary tumors, with excisional biopsy serving as both diagnostic and therapeutic.
Multiple clear cell acanthomas are rare, posing treatment challenges due to the number of lesions.

Observation:

A case of multiple clear cell acanthomas (up to 30 lesions) in a single patient is presented.
The patient's multiple lesions were treated using cryotherapy.

Findings:

Cryotherapy demonstrated effectiveness in treating multiple clear cell acanthomas.
This therapeutic approach resulted in minimal scarring, offering a cosmetic advantage.

Implications:

Cryotherapy presents a viable, less invasive alternative for managing multiple clear cell acanthomas.
