title: A modified technique for excision of syringomas.
abstract: An easy, rapid, and inexpensive technique for excision of syringomas from eyelids is outlined, using a fine needle as a skin hook and a #11 scalpel blade and leaving superficial wounds for secondary closure. Possible advantages and disadvantages are discussed. We recommend this procedure as an effective alternative that provides good cosmetic results.
