Angiofibromata mimicking viral warts. 1977

M H Wortzel

A case is presented of an otherwise healthy woman with a relatively normal childhood and adult life and no evidence of any congenital anomaly, who at the age of twenty-seven, suddenly, almost explosively, had development of verruca-like lesions of the face. It is well to remember that the clinically obvious is not always the obvious, things are not always what they seem, and verrucae are not always viral warts.

D014402	Tuberous Sclerosis	Autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome classically characterized by MENTAL RETARDATION; EPILEPSY; and skin lesions (e.g., adenoma sebaceum and hypomelanotic macules). There is, however, considerable heterogeneity in the neurologic manifestations. It is also associated with cortical tuber and HAMARTOMAS formation throughout the body, especially the heart, kidneys, and eyes. Mutations in two loci TSC1 and TSC2 that encode hamartin and tuberin, respectively, are associated with the disease.
