RESUMO
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal-dominant disorder that causes the formation of hamartomatous tumors such as facial angiofibromas (FAs). We present a combination of surgical debulking via shave biopsy, curettage, and electrocautery followed by application of sirolimus ointment 1% to the nose to treat FAs in the setting of TSC. This novel approach achieved an optimal therapeutic response in our patient with minimal recurrence of FAs after 1 year of follow-up.
