Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare multisystem autosomal dominant genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, liver, eyes, lungs and skin.
Adenoma sebaceum presence represents one of the major diagnostic criteria to confirm the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. [5] When adenoma sebaceum presents with seizures and mental retardation (Vogt's triad), it indicates that cranial imaging is necessary, other differential diagnoses for this disorder include acne vulgaris, rhinophyma, and sebaceous hyperplasia.
It is most commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although it is a low-grade tumor, its location can potentially obstruct the ventricles and lead to hydrocephalus . Signs and symptoms
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC): TSC is a genetic condition that leads to the formation of benign tumors in multiple organs. Dermatological signs such as hypomelanotic macules and facial angiofibromas are common, and poliosis can occasionally be an early indicator of TSC.
Most people with benign angiomyolipomas do not show signs or have symptoms. However, symptoms can occur if the dilated blood vessels in an angiomyolipoma rupture; this is called a retroperitoneal hemorrhage. This can cause pain in the back, nausea and vomiting. Some long-term effects are anemia, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.
The skin lesions caused by tuberous sclerosis (angiofibromas) must be distinguished from the characteristic fibrofolliculomas of BHD, which also occur primarily on the face. BHD can be difficult to diagnose from symptoms alone, because hereditary renal cancers, pneumothorax, and cutaneous tumors occur with other syndromes.

Although the prevalence of tuberous sclerosis at 1 in 6,000 births is much greater than that of LAM, most pulmonary clinics see more cases of sporadic than tuberous sclerosis–LAM: probably due to a combination of low levels of screening for LAM in tuberous sclerosis and in many, the absence of symptoms.
