title: [Extensive fibromata pendulantia. Hydrosurgery as a therapy option using the Versajet technique].
abstract: Fibromata pendulantia often appear as small filiform skin tags with a narrow pedicle in the neck, axilla and groin areas. Hitherto, extensive fibromata pendulantia were resected either surgically (curette, scissors, scalpel) or by laser. The present case study of an adipose patient with disseminated fibromata pendulantia in the axillary region in the setting of pseudoacanthosis nigricans introduces the Versajet hydrosurgery technique as an alternative method. It is able to remove tissue and rinse the wound simultaneously by means of a high-pressure water jet.
