To the Editor: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare autosomal dominant and variable penetrance, affects about 10 in every 100,000 people.[1] In general, it is described as a clinical triad of adenomas, mental disorders, and seizures. However, due to incomplete penetrance, symptoms may be involved in isolated organs, which may manifest as mild incomplete diseases or involve multiple organs. Pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) associated with both renal and hepatic angiomyolipomas (AMLs) in a TSC patient is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one case has been reported by Ciftci et al.[2] Here, we present such a case with clinical and pathological analysis.
