ABSTRACT
A 14-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) presented with a painful neurofibroma on his right palm. The lesion was treated with topical sirolimus, resulting in decreased size and pain and improvement in motor function of his hand. This case demonstrates the efficacy of topical sirolimus in the management of neurofibromas in NF1.
