Topical Rapamycin: An Additional Therapeutic Option for Tufted Angioma in Adults.

Tufted angiomas are relatively rare benign vascular proliferations, which were previously referred to as progressive capilliary hemangiomas or angioblastomas. They appear mainly in patients under 5 years of age, although adult-onset cases have been reported. They present as erythematousviolaceous plaques or nodules affecting the upper trunk and limbs or the neck. Histologic examination is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis. We report the cases of 3 adults with tufted angiomas diagnosed in our hospital in the past 20 years, highlighting the usefulness of topical rapamycin in one case.
