Summary

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome, which may involve multiple organ systems and shows highly variable clinical manifestations. Oral manifestations, including lesions on hard tissues, enamel hypoplasia and gingival hyperplasia have been previously described. We report a case of 25-year-old woman with this syndrome presenting multiple fibrous nodules on the buccal mucosa and lips. Awareness of the different oral manifestations of tuberous sclerosis is important to ensure appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

KEY WORDS: tuberous sclerosis, autosomal dominant, oral manifestation.
