Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant syndrome due to a mutation in the TSC2 or TSC1 gene. The disease is known to have variable expressivity involving the neurological, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, and integumentary systems (Kennedy et al., 2017). We present a case report, and associated literature review, of a toddler with a posterior scalp lesion which was identified as a soft tissue fibroma upon histopathology. Unlike angiofibromas, soft tissue fibromas in the head and neck are not common in patients with TSC. This soft tissue tumor may be considered as one of the major criteria in the diagnosis of TSC.
