Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2020 May;112(5):412-413. doi: 10.17235/reed.2020.6376/2019.

Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare disease which is characterized by widespread of a variety of benign tumors in multiple organs. Renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are the primary cause of morbidity in TSC due to anemia, renal failure or spontaneous bleeding. In contrast, the hepatic involvement is unusual and it is infrequently described in literature.
