title: Treatment of hyperkeratosis areolae mammae naeviformis with the carbon dioxide laser.
abstract: Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare mamma condition. Typical lesions are characterized by persistent verrucous thickening and dark pigmentation of the nipple or areola (or both) and may occur unilaterally or bilaterally in both sexes. We report what we believe to be the first therapeutic trial with carbon dioxide laser in a patient with hyperkeratosis areolae mammae naeviformis.
