Abstract
Background:
Eccrine hidrocystomas are usually benign, solitary cystic tumors which are mainly treated by surgical measures. Treatment of the rare multiple lesions gets into difficulties because of complications.
Patient And Methods:
A 74-year-old woman showed multiple bilateral lesions on the eyelids. Histology revealed eccrine hidrocystomas. The lesions were treated by Argon laser. Laser parameters were as follows: 600-1000 microns spot size, 500-600 mW power, 0.1-0.2 s time.
Results:
After 6 months follow up no recurrence of any of the tumors was observed.
Conclusion:
Argon laser proved to be successful to treat multiple eccrine hidrocystomas.
