Abstract:
The mTOR inhibitor rapamycin is used systemically for the treatment of vascular lesions. We report the first use of topical rapamycin for the successful treatment of two cases of tufted angioma. The evidence for the use of topical rapamycin in other dermatologic conditions is summarized to aid in clinical decision making on preparations and anticipated side effects.
