✦ Synopsis

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 of the lung. Males are affected very rarely. This paper describes another manifestation of pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis, namely, recurrent intrapleural cysts in a young boy.
