A Case of Forehead Plaque as an Initial Sign of Tuberous Sclerosis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Tuberous sclerosis is a systemic disorder of hamartoma formation in many organs. Skin involvement includes facial angiofibromal, subungal fibromas, hypomelanic macules, forehead fibrous plaques, and Shagreen's patches. The earliest skin
manifestation of
tuberous sclerosis is usually hypomelanotic macule,but it may appear later. We present a case of fibrous plaque appearing before any of these more recognized skin signs. Forehead plaque can be the earliest skin manifestation of tuberous
sclerosis.
Its
presence may lead to early diagnosis and appropriate genetic counselling out may be a poor prognostic sign.(Kor J Dermatol 1995 ; 33(1) : 201~205)
