Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus treated with a combination erbium/CO2 laser: a case and brief review

Dermatol Online J. 2011 Sep 15;17(9):10.

Abstract

Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus (PEODDN) is an uncommon disease that presents early in childhood and is characterized by keratotic papules, often in a linear configuration. We describe a 12-year-old girl with characteristic lesions of PEODDN and describe her response to treatment with a combination CO2/Erbium laser. We also briefly review the literature on PEODDN.
