2B). The mortality rate is as high as 40% by the age of 35 years. The CT features included subependymal nodules in 25 of 26 patients (96%) and calcifications in 23 of 26 (88%). Fig. Tuberous sclerosis complex–associated lymphangioleiomyomatosis in a 34-year-old woman. Figure 2C: Coronal CT image of abdomen with angiomyolipomas (orange arrow) and renal cysts (yellow arrows). An 11-year-old girl with a medical history of eczema and myopia presented for imaging with a primary complaint of right hand pain and hypothenar swelling. Fig. skin, eyes, and nervous system). Renal angiomyolipomas occur in about 75 to 80% of patients over the age of 10 years (4). Fig. Tuberous Sclerosis. Radiology. Epileptogenic tubers have an increased apparent diffusion coefficient [30]. International CME for Today's Radiologist, Skin lesions and kidney masses • Xray of the Week. How is tuberous sclerosis diagnosed? 7B —Neonate with cardiac manifestations of tuberous sclerosis (Courtesy of Paltiel HJ, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA). Dr. Rice is a radiologist with Renaissance Imaging Medical Associates and is currently the Vice Chief of Staff at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles, California. A, Prenatal ultrasound image shows multiple echogenic intracardiac masses (arrows). Patients present with seizures, varying degrees of mental retardation, and even autism [20]. Radiology 254.3 (2010): 851-857. doi:10.1148/radiol.09090227, Von Ranke, Felipe Mussi et al. The majority of angiomyolipomas are sporadic (80%) and are typically identified in adults (mean age of presentation 43 years), with a female predilection (F:M of 2-4:1) 7,9. Tuberous sclerosis–associated RCCs are predominantly clear cell RCCs [15], but papillary and chromophobe RCCs have also been reported in the literature. Approximately one third of cases of tuberous sclerosis are familial and caused by mutations in two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 and TSC2. There has been evidence of regression of SEGAs in patients who have undergone sirolimus therapy [36]. Facial angiofibromas, formerly known as adenoma sebaceum, are detected in 75% of patients with tuberous sclerosis, appear as reddish papules, and typically present in a butterfly or malar distribution [18]. The patterns of CT attenuation and homogeneity depend on the subtype, microvessel density, and presence of intratumoral necrosis or hemorrhage. Tuberous sclerosis has a significant number of manifestations, involving many organ systems. The papillary subtype also tends to contain calcifications. In this case, tuberous sclerosis is highly suggested with multiple cortical calcified tubers. As described by Roach et al. Introduction. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an inheritable multiorgan disease. Fig. Chest CT image shows diffuse distribution of multiple thin-walled cysts surrounded by normal lung parenchyma, consistent with lymphangioleiomyomatosis. However, the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis can be made earlier or later on the basis of other features that manifest themselves at other ages (Table 1). (A) Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows a moderate-sized right pneumothorax (arrow).There is a fine reticular pattern most prominent in the lower zones. 1C). However, TSC has a wide clinical spectrum and many patients may have minimal symptoms with no neurologic disability (3). For cysts identified at high-resolution CT, annual pulmonary function testing was recommended to evaluate for disease progression. 45,2 (2017): 706-713. doi:10.1177/0300060516684251, Hatano, Takashi, and Shin Egawa. Tuberous sclerosis for the Radiologist . Although cysts may be seen in childhood or adolescence, symptoms typically present in the 40s and occur as dyspnea, cough, or hemoptysis. All patients underwent CT; 16 patients underwent both. Renal cysts are also common findings of TSC and the combination of renal cysts and angiomyolipomas is characteristic of TSC (4). Renal Angiomyolipoma: Radiologic Classification and Imaging Features According to the Amount of Fat, Review. Several studies have shown promising results regarding the use of the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus in both animal and human models. Small angiomyolipomas are usually homogeneously hyperechoic at ultrasound, but larger angiomyolipomas may have a more heterogeneous appearance (Fig. This patient has characteristic and near pathognomonic features of tuberous sclerosis. The most common signs and symptoms of tuberous sclerosis are known as the classic triad first described by Heinrich Vogt in 1908 [13]. FLAIR MR image shows multiple hyperintense cortical and subcortical tubers (thin arrows) and hyperintense subependymal nodules (thick arrows) lining frontal horns of lateral ventricles. 7A). Axial contrast-enhanced CT image shows mass (arrow) is predominantly isoattenuating to spleen and has central vascularity. In 2015, Dr. Rice and Natalie Rice founded Global Radiology CME to provide innovative radiology education at exciting international destinations, with the world's foremost authorities in their field.

The tuberous sclerosis–associated form also has a female predominance, and women are more severely affected by the disease than are men. Journal of child neurology 19.9 (2004): 643-649. doi: 10.1177/08830738040190090301, Avila, Nilo A., et al. However, the age at onset is much younger, and RCC in these patients tends to grow more slowly (Fig. 4 Lipomatosis difusa dorsal transtorácica en un paciente con esclerosis tuberosa familiar Subependymal giant cell tumors are a well-known manifestation of tuberous sclerosis, affecting 5-15% of patients with the condition 8. Dr. Rice has made several media appearances as part of his ongoing commitment to public education. That is when he was able to appreciate the eye for detail Radiologists possess. The patient stated that she did not have any recent trauma to her hand. Tuberous Sclerosis. The recommendation was made to perform annual detailed dermatologic and ophthalmologic examinations of patients with known lesions. "CT of sclerotic bone lesions: imaging features differentiating tuberous sclerosis complex with lymphangioleiomyomatosis from sporadic lymphangioleiomymatosis." "Tuberous sclerosis complex surveillance and management: recommendations of the 2012 International Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Consensus Conference." Tuberous sclerosis for the Radiologist . The CNS manifestations of tuberous sclerosis include subependymal nodules, cortical and subcortical tubers, cerebral white matter radial migration lines, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. However, patients can present with flank pain, hematuria, hemorrhage, or a tender abdominal mass. Coronal bone algorithm CT image shows focal sclerotic lesions (thin arrows) within multiple vertebral bodies and iliac aspect of sacroiliac joints (arrowhead); these findings are common in tuberous sclerosis and can be mistaken for osseous metastatic disease. A distinguishing ultra-sound feature is that 30% of angiomyolipomas exhibit posterior acoustic shadowing. Cortical tubers and subependymal nodules are noted. It is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder characterized by tumorlike malformations involving many organ systems, including the brain, kidneys, and skin ().The birth incidence of TSC is approximately one in 5000 to 10 000 live births ().The diagnosis of TSC is made clinically. A, Ultrasound image shows 3-cm angiomyolipoma appearing as hyperechoic mass (arrows) in midportion of left kidney. "Minnie" Award for the Most Effective Radiology Educator. Cardiac rhabdomyomas can be solitary or multiple and present as a well-defined hyperechoic mass or masses on the ventricular septum at sonographic evaluation [55] (Fig. Note that as well as the multiple hepatic cysts, there are two lesions in the liver which are essentially isointense pre-contrast, demonstrate vivid arterial enhancement, and are again isointense in the portovenous phase. Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant inherited neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by a variety of hamartomatous lesions in various organs. They are usually asymptomatic unless they occur as a contiguous mutation in TSC2 and PKD1 on chromosome 16 (present in 2–3% of patients) in which case the cysts have an early onset of development and cause hypertension or renal failure in early adulthood [48]. Asian Journal of Surgery (2020). Some characteristic findings that are appreciable on imaging include angiomyolipomas, cysts, sclerotic bone lesions, and subependymal tubers. Asymptomatic patients with cardiac rhabdomyomas require follow-up echocardiogram every 1-3 years along with 12-lead ECG every 3-5 years to monitor for conduction defects. These lesions rarely enhance, and they occur in more than 80% of patients with tuberous sclerosis [26]. Osseous manifestations are variable and consist of focal sclerotic lesions, bone cysts, and periosteal new bone formation. A, 32-year-old woman with ruptured angiomyolipoma. Facial angiofibromas are present 75% of the time, seizures as much as 90% of the time, and mental retardation in approximately 50% of all patients [14]. Also known as Bourneville disease, named after Désiré-Magloire Bourneville, the French physician who discovered the potatolike appearance of cortical lesions in the brains of patients with this condition [1], tuberous sclerosis is the second most common phakomatosis behind neurofibromatosis type 1. doi:10.1016/j.asjsur.2019.12.008. Tuberous sclerosis typically presents in the first decade of life and has a reported incidence of 1:6000-12000 1with intracranial involvement in the vast majority of patients, mainly cortical tubers or subependymal nodules. Fig. Although rarely symptomatic, cardiac rhabdomyomas have been known to cause fatal arrhythmias, valvular dysfunction, and outflow obstruction [57]. Like renal angiomyolipomas, hepatic angiomyolipomas consist of intratumoral macroscopic fat, which appears echogenic on ultrasound images, has fat attenuation on CT images, and appears as decreased signal intensity on T1-weighted fat-suppressed MR images [63] (Fig. C, T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo in-phase (C) and opposed-phase (D) MR images show area of homogeneous high signal intensity (arrow, C) of fat with India ink etching artifact (arrowhead, D) at interface between lipid-rich angiomyolipoma and normal liver parenchyma. The estimated prevalence ranges from one in 6000 to one in 12 000 (,1), and approximately two-thirds of the cases are sporadic (,2). 1B) when they have not yet calcified. Signs and symptoms vary widely, depending on where the growths develop and how severely a person is affected.Tuberous sclerosis is often detected during infancy or childhood. CONCLUSION. "Diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex." The most common radiographic manifestations are: 1. cortical or subependymal tubersand white matter abnormalities 2. renal angiomyolipomas 3. cardiac rhabdomyoma(s) 1. cortical/subcortical tubers: 50% are in the frontal lobe; high T2 and low T1 with only 10% of tubers showing enhancement; frequently calcify after two years of age 2. subependymal hamartomas 2.1. N2 - Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings were reviewed in 26 patients with tuberous sclerosis. SEGAs cause obstructive hydrocephalus because of their size and location [34, 35]. "Renal angiomyolipoma with tuberous sclerosis complex: How it differs from sporadic angiomyolipoma in both management and care." Fig. However, it should be recognized that half of TS patient… Amer is passionate about finance, medicine, and technology. The female genital tract is rarely affected by LAM. An understanding of associated lesions (e.g. If no lung cysts are appreciated on CT, then repeat imaging is done every 5-10 years. Follow Amer Ahmed on Twitter @amer_ahmed401, Kevin M. Rice, MD is the president of Global Radiology CME. [16] and Leung and Robson [17], Gomez developed a set of diagnostic criteria in 1998. D, T1-weighted gradient-recalled echo in-phase (C) and opposed-phase (D) MR images show area of homogeneous high signal intensity (arrow, C) of fat with India ink etching artifact (arrowhead, D) at interface between lipid-rich angiomyolipoma and normal liver parenchyma. This case is known for tuberous sclerosis on antiepileptic treatment presented for follow up. Tuberous sclerosis is a phakomatosis with dysplasias and hamartomas frequently affecting the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart, and skin .It may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance , but 60% to 70% of cases occur sporadically.Three different mutations have been associated with the disorder, located on chromosomes 9, 11, and 16 . However, given the overlap of sonographic characteristics with RCC, which presents as a homogeneously hyperechoic mass 10% of the time, ultrasound may not be the ideal diagnostic tool. 2C). Coronal contrast-enhanced MR image obtained after tuber resection shows avidly enhancing subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in left lateral ventricle at foramen of Monro (circle) with associated mild hydrocephalus. Tuberous sclerosis: Ultrasound, CT and MRI features of two cases with multiple organ involvement Australasian Radiology, Vol. 6). 5A —High-risk renal angiomyolipomas. 8D —38-year-old woman with hepatic manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. Definitive diagnosis is defined as the presence of at least two more major features, or one major and two minor features (6). The female genital tract is rarely affected by LAM. 8A —38-year-old woman with hepatic manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. They are estimated to occur in 18–53% of patients with tuberous sclerosis and tend to occur in younger children [47]. Mutations of TSC2 are much more frequent than mutations of TSC1 and are associated with more severe disease [11, 12]. Although they are almost exclusively encountered in the setting of tuberous sclerosis, case reports of isolated subependymal giant cell astrocytomas in individuals with no other stigmata of tuberous sclerosis are available 9. Fig. Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic disorder characterized by hamartomatous lesions in multiple organs, frequently involving the kidney. Cortical and subcortical tubers occur in 90% of patients [22]. However, the term may be a misnomer because the triad of facial angiofibromas, seizures, and mental retardation is observed in only 30–40% of patients [14]. Therefore, lipid-poor angiomyolipomas cannot be reliably differentiated from RCC and other renal tumors, such as oncocytomas. Similarly, sirolimus and its analogues have been found to be effective in the treatment of dermatologic manifestations [71] of tuberous sclerosis as well as lymphangioleiomyomatosis [72, 73], RCC [74], and renal angiomyolipomas [75–78]. Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained for the HIPAA-compliant study. This phenomenon is caused by destructive interference at the junction of the fat-based angiomyolipoma and water-based renal tissue, creating a boundary of intravoxel fat and water protons with a resultant decrease in signal intensity compared with the signal intensity on in-phase images. 9 —62-year-old woman with splenic manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. Focal sclerotic lesions are found in vertebrae, ribs, and the iliac aspect of the sacroiliac joints (Fig. Pictorial Review of Tuberous Sclerosis in Various Organs. Fig. Cerebral white matter radial migration lines represent heterotopic glial and neuronal cells along the path of migration from the ventricle to the cerebral cortex and can occasionally be seen extending to cortical and subcortical tubers. However, for hepatic angiomyolipomas smaller than 4 cm, there are no follow-up or therapeutic recommendations. It is due to mutation in the genes TSC1 or TSC2. Cystic Hepatic Lesions: A Review and an Algorithmic Approach, Review. 4A —39-year-old woman with lipid-poor angiomyolipoma. All patients underwent CT; 16 patients underwent both. These lesions exhibit variable enhancement and appear hyperintense on T1-weighted MR images and isointense to hyperintense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images (Fig. skin, eyes, and nervous system). 50-90% will be found in the frontal lobes 1. MRI is also useful for the detection of the microscopic fat present in most angiomyolipomas. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis can be observed as multiple thin-walled cysts scattered diffusely and surrounded by normal lung parenchyma [52] (Fig. Imaging Pulmonary Infection: Classic Signs and Patterns, Congenital Spine and Spinal Cord Malformations—, Review. 2C —Imaging findings of angiomyolipoma. For asymptomatic growing renal angiomyolipomas measuring greater than 3 cm in diameter, first-line treatment consists of mTOR inhibitors (7). However, 4.5% of angiomyolipomas are lipid poor and therefore pose a diagnostic challenge [41] (Fig. Conversely, approximately 20% of patients with angiomyolipomas have tuberous sclerosis. Because of the relative conspicuity of calcium, CT is the preferred imaging modality for identifying subependymal nodules when an adult with undiagnosed tuberous sclerosis has subtle neurologic symptoms. Introduction. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the radiologic manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. Elsevier, 2013. The incidence of RCC among people with tuberous sclerosis is similar to that in the general population (2–3%) [49]. In addition, subependymal tubers are found in TSC. 6 —39-year-old woman with pulmonary manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. If symptomatic, these lesions are usually surgically resected. Note that as well as the multiple hepatic cysts, there are two lesions in the liver which are essentially isointense pre-contrast, demonstrate vivid arterial enhancement, and are again isointense in the portovenous phase. The presence of this type of fat in these lesions can be confirmed on T1-weighted fat-suppressed MR images (Fig. Hemorrhage from angiomyolipomas can be life-threatening, so treatment is advised in symptomatic patients and those with lesions > 4 cm (8). Renal cysts are usually multiple in tuberous sclerosis and are the second most common renal manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. Echocardiography every 1–3 years was recommended for pediatric patients to monitor regression or stability of cardiac rhabdomyomas. Correct diagnosis of this syndrome is imperative, not only by detecting cutaneous manifestations at physical examination but also by recognizing the characteristic multimodality imaging findings. C, 2-year-old boy. We report here on the CT and MR imaging findings of extensive LAM involving the uterus and pelvic cavity, and this was seen as multiple cystic uterine and parauterine masses with internal hemorrhage in a young female with tuberous sclerosis complex. They most commonly occur in the cerebral white matter of the frontal lobes bilaterally and are characterized as thin straight lines of T2 hyperintensity and T1 isointensity to hypointensity coursing from the periventricular white matter to the cerebral cortex. Pediatric annals 46.4 (2017): e166-e171. 4). Unenhanced CT shows multiple, calcified nodules in a periventricular, subependymal distribution bilaterally in dilated lateral ventricles, characteristic of tuberous sclerosis.
