Abstract
Cowden's disease is a genodermatosis associated with both cutaneous and visceral manifestations, including cancer. Trichilemmomas represent one of the benign cutaneous lesions associated with this syndrome and may be responsible for significant cosmetic disfigurement. Using the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in its vaporizational mode of operation, a patient with multiple trichilemmomas of the nose, previously unsuccessfully treated with multiple medical and surgical procedures, obtained excellent cosmetic results.Keywords
