Abstract

Patient M., 23 years old, consulted a dermatologist with complaints of rashes on the face, which had bothered since childhood. On objective examination, skin lesions were widespread. A visual examination revealed spots of hypopigmentation, angiofibromas of the face, "shagreen" fate of the skin, periungual fibromas. She was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. Further examination revealed a neoplasm in the brain and right kidney, damage to the lungs, tubular bones, lymphadenopathy. The patient continues to be monitored by a neurologist and therapist. Based on the results of CT scan of the chest organs, an oncologist's consultation was scheduled to conduct an oncology search. Thus, with skin manifestations characteristic of this disease, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination to identify concomitant pathology and early diagnosis of complications.
