Abstract
Background:
Nevus spilus is usually an acquired lesion that can present therapeutic dilemmas for clinicians.
Objective:
Using an intense pulsed light source, a nevus spilus on the face of a 23-year-old woman was treated.
Methods:
The intense pulsed light source, utilizing a 590 nanometer filter, was used to treat the nevus spilus.
Results:
Four treatment sessions with the intense pulsed light successfully treated the nevus spilus, and it has remained clear at the 6-month follow-up.
Conclusions:
Nevus spilus is a difficult condition to treat; the intense pulsed light source should be considered in the armamentarium when treating this condition.
