Abstract :
Sir, tuberous sclerosis is a serious, dominantly inherited condition best known for its presentation during childhood with fits and mental retardation. Facial angiofibromas, ungual fibromas, retinal phakomas, multiple cortical tubers, subependymal glial nodules and bilateral renal angiomyolipomas are considered pathognomonic. Skin tags commonly occur in patients with tuberous sclerosis. Pendulous molluscum fibrosum have been described occasionally around the neck in these patients. We report a giant, pedunculated, soft fibroma in a young girl with tuberous sclerosis.
