Background:
Widespread unilateral nevus spilus causes important cosmetic and psychological disturbances, and only a few therapeutic options can guarantee good functional and cosmetic results.
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical response of a patient with widespread segmental nevus spilus to Q-switched (QS) alexandrite laser.
Methods:
The treatment was QS alexandrite laser (755 nm, 100 nsec) with a mean fluence of 7.28 +/- 0.37 J/cm2 using a single-impact technique at 10 +/- 8.47-week intervals.
Results:
Fifty percent clearance of the facial portion of the lesion was observed after 16 treatment sessions with QS alexandrite laser.
Conclusion:
QS alexandrite laser is suitable for removal of widespread segmental nevus spilus.
