Popis: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects both fetal development and postnatal tissue growth, resulting in altered brain structures and a tumor predisposition syndrome. Although every organ system is affected by the disease, kidney involvement is a leading cause of death in adults with TSC. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in understanding the renal disease. This review focuses on the cystic and solid renal lesions in TSC, including their pathobiology and treatment.
