Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is easily discernible by a myriad of manifestations, most notably dermatological. It is associated with well known and recognised intra-abdominal tumours like angiomyolipoma of the kidney. However, rarer tumours like pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours can occur in the setting of TSC. A high index of suspicion is necessary to identify and treat these lesions early in their natural course. Early identification augurs well with complete surgical excision and excellent survival.
结节性硬化症(TSC)很容易通过多种表现被识别出来,最显著的是皮肤方面的表现。它与诸如肾血管平滑肌脂肪瘤等广为人知且公认的腹腔内肿瘤有关。然而,像胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤这样较罕见的肿瘤也可能在TSC的情况下发生。在这些病变的自然病程早期识别并治疗它们,需要高度的怀疑指数。早期识别有利于完整的手术切除和良好的生存率。
