Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Facial angiofibromas are hamartomatous growths that are closely associated with tuberous sclerosis complex and, in fact, they constitute one of the main diagnostic criteria for that disease. These lesions composed of blood vessels and fibrous tissue appear on the face at an early age. Since they have important physical and psychological repercussions for patients, several treatment options have been used to remove them or improve their appearance. However, the lack of treatment guidelines prevents us from developing a common protocol for patients with this condition. The present article aims to review the treatments for facial angiofibromas used to date and to propose a new evidence-based treatment protocol. Los angiofibromas faciales son tumoraciones hamartomatosas íntimamente relacionadas con el complejo de la esclerosis tuberosa, y representan uno de los criterios mayores para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad. Su aparición desde edades tempranas en la región facial, así como su naturaleza fibrovascular, producen importantes repercusiones físicas y psicológicas en estos pacientes, lo que ha motivado la utilización de múltiples tratamientos para su eliminación o mejora. Sin embargo, no existen guías de tratamiento que permitan establecer un protocolo de actuación común en este tipo de pacientes. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar los tratamientos utilizados hasta la fecha para los angiofibromas faciales en función de la evidencia científica demostrada e intentar aportar un protocolo terapéutico.
