Zusammenfassung

Die tuberöse Sklerose ist eine autosomal dominant vererbte Erkrankung, die durch verschiedene hamartomatöse Veränderungen in verschiedenen Organen gekennzeichnet ist. Der Befall der verschiedenen Organe (neurologische (subependymale und corticale Veränderungen), renale (Angiomyolipome) und pulmonale (mikronoduläre Hyperplasie der Pneumozyten) Beteiligung) kann durch bildgebende Verfahren der Radiologie entdeckt werden. Wir berichten über eine 49-jährige Patientin mit tuberöser Sklerose mit multiplen Organbefall und massiven bilateralen Angiomyolipomen.

Summary

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by a variety of hamartomatous lesions in various organs. Various organ involvements can be detected with radiology: neurologic involvement (cortical tubers, subependymal nodules and white matter abnormalities), renal involvement (angiomyolipoma) and pulmonary involvement (pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia). Here, we are reporting a case of tuberous sclerosis with multiple organ involvement and massive bilateral AMLs in a 49-year-old female patient.
