Metastatic breast carcinoma to renal angiomyolipomas in tuberous sclerosis.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease manifesting as hamartomatous involvement of several organs, including brain, kidneys, skin, heart, lungs, and retina. We report the first case of a patient with TSC, with large bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AML), who developed multiple soft tissue masses within her primarily fatty AMLs, resulting from metastatic breast cancer.
