SAO PAULO, Brazil – Naomi Campbell has been hospitalized in Sao Paulo and is being treated by one of Brazil’s top specialists in infectious disease, the hospital’s press office said Tuesday.

A publicist for the 37-year-old British supermodel confirmed Campbell was treated at a hospital and had a small cyst removed. There were no other details.

“Naomi Campbell was admitted to hospital … to have a small cyst removed,” her publicist, Jeff Raymond, said in a statement. “Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work. She would like to thank the doctors who have kindly looked after her.”

Campbell, a frequent visitor to Brazil, celebrated Carnival earlier this month in the northeastern city of Salvador. She was hospitalized Sunday in Sao Paulo’s Sirio Libanes Hospital.

She is under the care of David Uip, a specialist in infectious diseases, and gynecologist Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, the hospital said in a statement.
