چکیده
A 40-year-old woman with no particular history was referred to our nephrology unit for long-standing, slowly developing chronic renal insufficiency. The blood pressure was 180/80 mmHg. Serum creatinine was 340 μmol/l and GFR 32 ml/min. Proteinuria was 0.35 G/24 h. The urinary sediment was bland. Ultrasonography disclosed two symmetrical, moderately atrophic kidneys. The diagnosis was made at fist glance. What is your answer? Pringle’s adenoma sebaceum and Koenen’s tumours led to a diagnosis of Bourneville tuberous sclerosis involving the kidneys.
