  • Title: [Multiple and unilateral angiofibromas of the face: forme fruste of Bourneville tuberous sclerosis].
    Author: García Muret MP, Pujol RM, de Moragas JM.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1998 May; 125(5):325-7. PubMed ID: 9747280.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Multiple facial angiofibromas are considered a characteristic and pathognomonic feature of tuberous sclerosis. In contrast, the observation of localized multiple angiofibromas limited to one side of the face is a uncommon. OBSERVATIONS: We cared for two patients with multiple clustered unilateral angiofibromas (although one patient also presented a few angiofibromas on the other side) without other features associated with the sclerosis tuberous complex. DISCUSSION: The possibility that these patients presented an independent disorder or a minor form of tuberous sclerosis is discussed.
