BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa (ENV) is a disfiguring skin condition that is difficult to treat. Existing treatment modalities serve to improve cosmesis or treat symptoms. Herein, we report a case of ENV with lymphocutaneous fistula successfully treated with ablative carbon dioxide laser.
STUDY DESIGN/PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 57-year-old woman with biopsy-proven ENV with lymphocutaneous fistula was treated with ablative carbon dioxide laser to the symptomatic area of her right thigh in 3 treatment sessions over 6 months.
RESULTS: The patient had resolution of lymphocutaneous drainage as well as 90% improvement in the appearance of ENV lesions at the 1-month follow-up visit.
CONCLUSION: Ablative carbon dioxide laser may provide cosmetic, symptomatic, and medical benefit for patients with localized ENV.
