Abstract:

Summary Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder that causes tumors to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. We present the case of a 24 years old woman, who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for definite tuberous sclerosis, based on Revised Diagnostic Criteria for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, with histologically confirmed subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, and multiple hypomelanoic macules shown on skin examination. The patient was also diagnosed with bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts which is a rare condition. To the best of our knowledge, there are not published cases of tuberous sclerosis associated with bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts
