Multiple Apocrine Hidrocystomas of the Eyelids: A Case Successfully Treated Using Ultrapulsed Carbon Dioxide Laser and Literature Review

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... View More»
