Syringomas Treated by Intralesional Insulated Needles without Epidermal Damage.

Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from intradermal eccrine ducts; it predominantly occurs in women at puberty or later in life. Although syringoma is a common benign neoplasm, there have been no effective therapies for its removal. Conventional therapies for syringomas, including surgical excision, electrodessication, chemical peeling, topical atropine or tretinoin, cryosurgery, and laser therapy, can lead to cosmetic defects such as hyperpigmentation or scarring due to epidermal damage.

Various treatment methods have been developed for removal of the apocrine and eccrine glands. But conventional surgical methods often lead to significant scarring and frequent recurrence.
