Abstract: Tufted angioma (TA) is a rare vascular endothelial cell tumor that often occurs in infants and early childhood and is rare in adults. There are currently no unified treatment guidelines, and treatment options for children with TA are limited and challenging. This report introduces a case of a child diagnosed with superficial TA in the left popliteal fossa. Topical 0.1% sirolimus cream was given in the early stage and combined with pulsed dye laser treatment in the later stage. The child’s skin lesions recovered well. The author reviews relevant literature reports to summarize the treatment of TA in children and provide relevant ideas and new options for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
