Abstract
Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by the development of multiple trichoepitheliomas and cylindromas. We report two patients with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome whose scalp cylindromas were treated with a high-energy continous wave CO2 laser after debulking with bipolar scissors in one of the patients. The special feature in our report is the coexistence of three adnexal skin neoplasms in one case, and the close association of cylindroma and eccrine spiradenoma in the same lesion. We also support that debulking with bipolar scissors prior to laser therapy can be a technique of great benefit in large tumors.
