Outcome with topical sirolimus for port wine stain malformations after unsatisfactory results with pulse dye laser treatment alone

We report five PWS cases that were treated with PDL initially, followed by 0.5-1% topical sirolimus. With dual therapy there was significant improvement over a shorter duration. More published studies of topical sirolimus are needed to clarify the role of dual therapy in managing PWS associated with capillary malformations. We encourage further prospective and comparative studies with a larger sample size. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: 1
