Abstract

We present the case of a 16-year-old boy with Peutz-Jeghers disease with successful treatment of oral lentiginosis with one session of picosecond 755-nm alexandrite laser. To date, only in one other article picosecond laser is used for lentiginosis in Peutz-Jeghers disease. Other therapeutical options include Q-switched 755-nm alexandrite, 1064-nm Nd:YAG, 532-nm KTP-laser, ruby and intense pulsed light, which generally require more sessions, are less pigment-selective and have overall worse results than picosecond laser treatment.
