Background: A number of methods to treat benign cutaneous lesions are available, including surgical excision, electrosurgery, chemical cauterizing agents, cryotherapy, and carbon dioxide laser vaporization. Electrocautery has been used for more than a century and is in danger of becoming a forgotten treatment modality. Objective: The aim of this review is to describe the procedure of electrocautery and bring attention to this treatment method. Methods: The principles of electrocautery and our experience in selected cases are reviewed. Results: Excellent results were achieved using electrocautery to treat syringomas, linear epidermal nevus, and dermatosis papulosa nigra. Conclusion: Electrocautery is a useful technique for treating selected benign cutaneous lesions and should not be discarded in the rush to embrace new technologies.

Urgent Procedure

AbstractWe present a patient with established histiocytosis who developed dysphagia, retching, regurgitation, hoarseness and stridor. These symptoms were managed with carbon dioxide laser vaporization, electively on three occasions, and once as an urgent procedure, while awaiting radiotherapy, to control her airway.Histiocytosis is a rare cause of a number of otolaryngological syndromes, but there has been no previous record of this disease causing laryngopharyngeal symptoms. This paper discusses the classification of histiocytosis, and describes our management of this rare and intriguing case.
