Abstrakt		Background: Ultrapulse CO2 laser could be an effective modality for the ablation of the nevus sebaccus of Jadassohn for cosmetically important areas in selected cases. Objective: Evaluation of effectiveness and cosmetic results concerning the ultrapulse CO2 laser ablation in 15-year old white boy with nevus sebaceus of the glabellar area. Methods: Ablation of the nevus under local anesthesia with ultrapulse CO2 laser, in 4 sessions spaced two months apart. Results: An 18-month follow-up disclosed no recurrent diseases with satisfactory cosmetic result. Conclusion: This method produces superior results with minimal risk of scarring compared to a continuous wave CO2 laser and classical excisional surgery. Although the risk for malignant change of nevus sebaceus on the face is very low, careful follow-ups are mandatory in order to obtain early recognition of any possible malignant change.
