Abstract
To our knowledge, our patient is the oldest reported to date and the only one to have complained of symptoms. Our review of the literature highlights the importance of skin biopsy to guide aesthetic or symptomatic treatment. CO2 laser and dermabrasion are recommended for combined CTNP as they treat the epidermal component with low risk of secondary scarring. However, these techniques should be avoided in pure dermal CTNP, where surgical excision alone is acceptable in order to achieve optimal cosmetic results.
