Ann Dermatol. 2023 Nov;35(Suppl 2):S243-S246. doi: 10.5021/ad.21.235.

Abstract

Angiofibroma and shagreen patches are common cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and have significant physical and psychological repercussions for patients. Several treatments have been proposed to improve lesions; however, clear treatment guidelines have not yet been presented. Thus, we introduce a case of angiofibroma and shagreen patch improved by application of pulsed dye laser, ablative fractional CO2 laser, and topical rapamycin, and present clinical implications for the treatment of angiofibroma and shagreen patch in TSC.
