Tuberous sclerosis and fibrous dysplasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the case of an 11-year-old female patient with tuberous sclerosis who had a right nasal mass. CT examination revealed fibrous dysplasia involving the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and vomer bones.

The authors emphasize the association of bone abnormalities and tuberous sclerosis and discuss the consideration of fibrous dysplasia as a component of this syndrome.
