ABSTRACT
The facial angiofbromas due to tuberous sclerosis complex produced significant social and emotional distress for affected individuals, but there is no specific therapeutic strategy up to now. Herein, we report a case of facial angiofibromas successfully treated by 5-aminolaevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) with no recurrence for 6 years, thus providing a promising therapeutic option.
