Tuberous Sclerosis, Late Diagnosis: A Case Analysis

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an uncommon, congenital disease, usually diagnosed during childhood. It is rare to find undiagnosed adult patient. The fundamental feature of TS is the presence of multifocal malignant tumors. In this study we present a case of a 50-year-old woman with multiple tumors. The characteristic features e.g. on the brain and abdomen CT helped us diagnose this rare disease despite patient's age. We aimed at stressing the importance of careful medical examination because of oligosymptomatic patients with TS.
