Summary
Multiple facial apocrine hidrocystomas were effectively treated with botulinum toxin A. This novel approach offers a new therapeutic option for managing these rare skin lesions.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
Background:
- Apocrine hidrocystomas are rare benign cystic tumors.
- Typically presenting as solitary periocular papules, management of multiple lesions poses challenges.
Observation:
- A 29-year-old male presented with multiple facial apocrine hidrocystomas.
- Previous treatments for hidrocystomas vary based on lesion size and location.
Findings:
- Successful treatment of multiple facial apocrine hidrocystomas using botulinum toxin A.
- This represents the first reported use of botulinum toxin A for multiple apocrine hidrocystomas in English literature.
Implications:
- Botulinum toxin A may be a viable treatment option for multiple apocrine hidrocystomas.
- Further research is warranted to explore the efficacy and safety of this treatment modality.
