title: Neuroblastoma, tuberous sclerosis, and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
abstract: A patient with Stage III paratesticular neuroblastoma diagnosed in infancy was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Typical depigmented "ash leaf" skin lesions of tuberous sclerosis appeared during early childhood. At 7 years of age he underwent craniotomy for a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. The occurrence of neuroblastoma, tuberous sclerosis, and astrocytoma is unique, and supports the suggested relationship between neural crest tumors and hamartoma syndromes.
