Abstract
Ochronosis is an uncommon condition characterized by yellow-brown pigment d eposits in the dermis. It occurs in exogenous and endogenous forms. We repo rt a case of exogenous ochronosis in a Hispanic woman and discuss the diffe rent forms of this condition. We treated the lesions with Q-switched ruby l aser.
