Indian J Dermatol. 2015 Jul-Aug;60(4):421. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.160520.

Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a well-known clinical entity, characterized by facial angio-fibroma, shagreen patch, and hypo-melanotic, and confetti-like skin lesions. An exquisite fresh case is being narrated, emphasizing its microscopic pathology. The role of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, in particular, is highlighted to define the large variety of neurological abrasions for determining its future progression.

Keywords: Diagnostic role of magnetic resonance imaging; histopathology; tuberous sclerosis complex.
