Ruby laser therapy for labial lentigines in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

UNLABELLED

Some patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may be disturbed by the appearance of lentigines. Such patients require management of their lentigines as well as their gastro-intestinal polyps. We describe ruby laser therapy of labial lentigines in two children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. The response to treatment was excellent and no sequelae or recurrence of the lesions was noted.

CONCLUSION

Our experience suggests that ruby laser therapy is safe and a suitable approach for the treatment of labial lentigines in children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
