title: [Dermabrasion in two cases of tuberous sclerosis].
abstract: The authors made an attempt at treating tuberous sclerosis (Bourneville's disease) by means of dermabrasion. The technique and postoperative course are described. The immediate results were very encouraging, but in time returned to an appearance close to the initial one. In conclusion, dermabrasion is not an appropriate treatment for tuberous sclerosis.
