Reported are first experiences with Nd:YAG laser treatment of benign, semimalignant, and malignant skin tumors in 90 patients. Treated lesions included condylomata acuminata, basal cell carcinomas, solar keratosis, squamous cell carcinomas, and secondary malignant skin tumors. First clinical and histological results are promising, but long-term follow-up is required to judge the definite efficacy of this therapeutical modality.
