The purpose of this clinical case was to test the efficacy and safety of the long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-YAG laser in the treatment of multiple angiokeratomas on the labia majora of the vulva. Benign vascular neoplasms known as angiokeratomas are characterized by well-defined, hyperkeratotic, reddish-black papules, or plaques. The patient underwent one treatment session with a long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-YAG laser.
