Treatment of Multiple Dermal Cylindromas with the Carbon Dioxide Laser

. The management of multiple cylindromas presents a therapeutic challenge to the clinician. The condition has significant cosmetic implications, and malignant degeneration can occur. Reported treatments include excision and repair of individual lesions, high‐dose radiation, and complete scalp removal with grafting. We review the proposed histogenesis of this tumor, discuss its associations, and report the first use of the carbon dioxide laser as a successful treatment.
