Trichoepitheliomas are benign cutaneous tumours often occurring on the face and can lead to considerable psychological distress to its sufferers. Treatment is often difficult, and surgery is limited by the obvious scars and multiple numbers of lesions. Carbon dioxide laser ablation can be used safely with good cosmetic outcome and low recurrence rate, and in this article, we describe our experience in the treatment of these tumours with the carbon dioxide laser. This is the largest reported series in the literature.
