Response to 1064 nm Nd:YAG LASER in treatment of vulvar Fordyce's Angiokeratoma: case report.
Fordyce's Angiokeratoma (AKF) is a benign type of vascular lesion that affects the male and female external genitalia. Prevalence is unknown and there is no apparent hereditary component. Diagnosis can be suggested by ectoscopy, by the presence of purple, bluish, black or red papules on the vulva, clitoris, scrotum, or penis body or glans. Most patients are asymptomatic. Various methods have been used for treatment, including surgery, electrocoagulation, chemical cauterization, sclerotherapy, and LASER. The effectiveness and complications of these therapies are varied. The purpose of this article is to report the case of a 56-year-old woman with abundant and painful vulvar lesions treated with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG LASER. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG LASER proved to be a viable therapeutic option, with satisfactory results and a low rate of complications.
