title: 18 years long-term results of facial port-wine stain (PWS) after photodynamic therapy (PDT)--a case report.
abstract: Port-wine stain (PWS) is still a challenging condition for clinician to treat, because in the majority of cases, the stains are not lifted fully by treatment with laser therapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was considered recently as a promising alternative treatment for PWS. We report here long-term follow-up measures 18 years on PWS lesion treated with PDT and the histological data of residual PWS.
