Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with mental retardation, epilepsy, and urinary stone disease had a right renal tumor. Acne-like anthema around the nose and dental pits of the nine teeth were typical signs of tuberous sclerosis (TSC), and the biopsy finding of the facial anthema was consistant with TSC. The pathological diagnosis of laparoscopic nephrectomy was renal cell carcinoma in the hemorrhagic cyst. The TSC-related renal cell carcinoma tends to develop bilaterally in younger individuals compared with the sporadic RCC. This case is the 27th case of TSC-related RCC in Japan.
