Bronchial angiofibromata in a suspected case of tuberous sclerosis.
Widespread hamartomatous proliferations are often seen with tuberous sclerosis, yet pulmonary involvement is rare. We describe a patient with a probable forme fruste of tuberous sclerosis in whom the diagnosis of bronchial angiofibromata was made bronchoscopically. This is the first description of this pulmonary manifestation.
