Treatment of Multiple Trichoepithelioma with Electrosurgery

Abstract

Multiple trichoepithelioma are benign skin tumors that present a significant cosmetic problem in young people. We report the successful treatment of two patients with electrosurgery. Specifically, through the use of a blended current, loop and triangular electrodes were used to remove the papules flush with the facial contour. In comparison to carbon dioxide laser, this modality yields identical cosmetic results yet is less expensive and considerably more time efficient.
