Tuberous sclerosis (TS) known as Epiloia and Bourneville’s disease is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that can affect many organ systems. Tuberous sclerosis has many forms of clinical presentation. Rarely, multiple facial angiofibromas of unilateral distribution have been reported. We describe a patient with unilateral facial angiofibromas, periungual fibromas and Shagreen patch.
