Brooke-Spiegler syndrome: treatment with laser ablation

D Rallan et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare genetic condition associated with adnexal and epidermal tumours. Facial trichoepitheliomas and cylindromas are particularly distressing to sufferers. Conventional treatment can be followed by recurrence. We report a case with disfiguring trichoepithelioma treated with erbium:Yag and CO2 laser, achieving a good cosmetic result without recurrence after 2 years. Brooke-Spiegler syndrome and its treatment are reviewed.
