ABSTRACT

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome with an incidence of 1 in 10 000 births. The classic triad of the disease are seizures, hypomelanotic macules and angiofibromas. The cutaneous manifestations are considered markers of the disease due to their frequency and considerable number in one patient.
Periungual or subungual fibromas, also known as Köenen tumors, are considered a major criterion of the disease, however they are not present at the time of diagnosis. They appear during adolescence and they are a frequent cause of consultation since they produce pain and inability to walk in these patients. We present a case of a child with tuberous sclerosis and a Köenen tumor, treated surgically with good outcome.
