Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Treatment of facial angiofibroma of tuberous sclerosis is problematic, because the skin lesions involve entire dermis. Five patients aged from 14 to 33 (mean: 23.6) years old with angiofibroma of tuberous sclerosis were treated with cultured epithelial autografts between 1995 and 2004. The entire area of the facial lesions was excised using a razor to remove large nodules, and then the remaining lesions were further abraded to a rather deep layer of the dermis to smooth the skin and remove small nodules. Then a cultured autologous epithelium was grafted onto the wound. In all patients, epithelization was complete within 10 (mean: 9) days after the surgery. All patients were followed up for more than 6 months and showed neither depigmentation due to scar formation nor hypertrophic scars. In some patients, some pebbly regrowth had occurred at 5 years postoperatively, but the appearance was quite acceptable. |
