A 28-year-old female patient suffering from LEOPARD syndrome presented, asking for the removal of lentigines (covering her face and most of her body) for aesthetic reasons. Intense pulsed light technology has been already used successfully for the removal of various benign pigmented lesions and it proved effective in this very rare case as well.
