Abstract

after CO2 laser treatment with staged excisions and covered with local advancement flaps, but the patient was satisfied with the cosmetic results and there was no recurrence.Consequently, physicians should take note that insufficient treatment, including CO2 laser or any surgical excision, can cause recurrence, as in this case.We suggest that staged excision can be another treatment modality for large multiple type NLCS.
