[A case of tuberous sclerosis: anatomo-pathologic description].
The authors describe the simultaneous presence of renal and pulmonary hamartomas occurring in a young man affected by tuberous sclerosis. The clinical diagnosis was based on the characteristic symptoms of epilepsy, adenoma sebaceum and mental retardation. These symptoms began at the age of four and were mostly characterized by epilepsy and adenoma sebaceum. The mental retardation was slight. The anatomopathological findings at death refer the presence of encephalic, renal and pulmonary lesions; the later are very rare.
