Adenoma sebaceum: successful treatment with the argon laser. 1982

K A Arndt

Treatment of disfiguring angiofibromas characteristic of adenoma sebaceum has remained a difficult problem. This report discusses a 13-year-old boy who was bothered by hundreds of bright red papules on his cheeks, nose, and chin. All lesions were successfully eradicated by treatment with the argon laser. The blue-green light from this laser has been found to be particularly useful in treating red-blue vascular lesions and is now the therapy of choice for port-wine stains and several types of small vascular ectasia; adenoma sebaceum characterized by prominent vascular ectasia also respond extremely well to argon laser radiation.

D014402	Tuberous Sclerosis	Autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome classically characterized by MENTAL RETARDATION; EPILEPSY; and skin lesions (e.g., adenoma sebaceum and hypomelanotic macules). There is, however, considerable heterogeneity in the neurologic manifestations. It is also associated with cortical tuber and HAMARTOMAS formation throughout the body, especially the heart, kidneys, and eyes. Mutations in two loci TSC1 and TSC2 that encode hamartin and tuberin, respectively, are associated with the disease.
