Abstract
- Melanocytic nevus is common pigmented skin tumor, but it has rare occurrence near the external auditory canal. A skin graft is required if a wide surgical excision is performed for the nevi occurring near the external auditory canal. A CO2 laser was considered to be a good alternative for the removal of melanocytic nevus in this area. We herein report a case of compound nevus occurring near the external auditory canal that was successfully treated by CO2 laser abrasion.
