Abstract

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the various manifestations that can be encountered on thoracic computed tomography of tuberous sclerosis in adults. The pulmonary findings include lymphangioleiomyomatosis and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia. The extrapulmonary manifestations are divided into cardiac, vascular, mediastinal, osseous, and upper abdominal findings.
