tuberous sclerosis
Benign tumor syndrome
Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder causing benign tumors to grow in the brain, kidneys, heart, and other organs.
The name refers to potato-like growths (tubers) that form in the brain and harden (sclerose).
Symptoms range from mild skin abnormalities to severe epilepsy, developmental delays, and organ damage.
Also called tuberous sclerosis complex or TSC.
