Abstract
A method for treating a neurofibroma, e.g. dermal neurofibroma, a subdermal neurofibroma, or a superficial plexiform neurofibroma, in a subject in need of such treatment is disclosed. The method comprises locally applying a composition to a neurofibroma either topically or intralesionally. This method does not encompass systemic administration of the composition to the subject to have an effect on the neurofibromas. Compositions useful for such treatments and methods of preparing the compositions are disclosed.
