Sirolimus has emerged as a promising treatment for complex congenital vascular malformations but is limited because of systemic side effects. Topically compounded formulations, which have been found to be successful in the treatment of several other conditions, are a preferred drug delivery system to provide local therapy. We report a case of a venolymphatic malformation in an adolescent girl treated with topical 1% sirolimus cream leading to improvement in appearance and associated symptoms.
