Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are renal tumors that occur both sporadically and in association with tuberous sclerosis (TSC). TSC is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hamartomatous lesions in multiple organs. Two TSC loci are recognized TSCl on 9q34 and TSC2 on 16pl3. Loss of heterozygosity (
Cysticercosis of the brain may be parenchymal, intraventricular, or cisternal. Spinal cysticercosis is relatively rare. We have had the opportunity to examine several patients with both CT and MR. CT findings in intraventricular cysticercosis have frequently required confirmation by metrizamide ven
BACKGROUND. Angiomyolipoma (AML) of the liver is an uncommon benign lesion that may be difficult to distinguish clinically, radiographically, and morphologically from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ## METHODS. Fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) of three AMLs of the liver were compared with F
Tuberous sclerosis is one of the rare neurocutaneous syndromes and may involve organs other than skin and brain. Pulmonary involvement is uncommon and predominantly affects women of childbearing age. Those affected present with dyspnea or spontaneous pneumothorax from cystic or fibrous degeneration
