Rhinosporidiosis, a difficult granulomatous disease of the nose is notorious for its high rate of recurrence and vascularity. Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) laserization of the mass seems to have provided an optimal solution in the management of this disease. We present our experience with the use of KTP-532 laser for this challenging disease.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of office-based potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) 532-nm laser in the management of recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis (RLP) following other treatments. A retrospective assessment was performed on 55 patients in 259 cases of RLP between 2012 and 2019. Derkay scores were obtained for all patients who underwent 532-nm KTP laser procedure (6 W of power with a continuous output mode) prior to treatment and after treatment.

Background: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a common chronic skin disorder clinically presents by velvety hyperpigmented lesions mainly at the flexural areas. Fractional photothermolysis has been reported to improve both pigmentary and textural changes by removing thin layers of skin with minimal thermal damage. Other options are the Q-switched (Qs) Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and Qs KTP (532 nm) lasers.
