Activity Overview
Facial angiofibroma is a common and distinctive manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Recognizing these lesions
is important because, in some patients, they may be an early clue to previously undiagnosed TSC. For patients with an
established diagnosis, however, questions about how and when to treat facial angiofibroma can be complex. This program will
provide practical guidance on treatment options and management considerations through expert discussion and case-based
examples.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for an audience of Dermatologists, Neurologists, Dermatology Nurses, Physician Assistants, Pediatric Physicians, and other healthcare professionals.
