Goltz syndrome is an X-linked dominant, multisystem birth defect due to PORCN mutation. The skin findings follow Blaschko's lines and often show epidermal atrophy and herniation of subcutaneous fatty tissue. Regarding treatment, light sources can offer a good therapeutic option for some manifestations of this rare disease and improve the aesthetic appearance of the skin lesions. We report two new cases of Goltz syndrome in which the cutaneous findings remarkably improved with pulsed dye laser and carbon dioxide laser.
