Abstract
A 45 year old female with chief complaint of abdominal distension was referred to department of radiodiagnosis for further evaluation. CT & MRI of abdomen revealed grossly enlarged kidneys with multiple fat containing lesions nearly replacing normal renal parenchyma. On examination, she also had multiple facial papules which raised suspicion for phakomatosis and she was further evaluated. Multiple system findings and stigmatas of tuberous sclerosis were found in the patient and are described with descriptive images in this case report. There was no significant family history which suggests sporadic nature of tuberous sclerosis.
