Abstract
Syringomas are common, benign periorbital adnexal tumors that pose a cosmetic dilemma for both patients and physicians alike. Many therapeutic modalities can potentially cause scarring and recurrences are common. The objective was to develop a treatment method that minimizes scarring and subsequent recurrences. Each syringoma is treated with short bursts of low voltage electrodesiccation, delivered with an epilating needle that is inserted deeply into the skin at the level of the reticular dermis. A patient treated by intralesional electrodesiccation of her long-standing periorbital syringomas remains lesion-free for over 24 months after therapy. Intralesional electrodesiccation is a safe, nonscarring and reliable method that can be used to eradicate periorbital syringomas.
