Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from the disruption of 2 tumour suppressor genes. Tuberous sclerosis has been associated with various tumours. We report a case of a 42-year-old male who is a known case of tuberous sclerosis and presented with swelling in the axilla. Excision biopsy of the axillary swelling and ugi endoscopic biopsy showed poorly cohesive adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
Keywords: Tuberous sclerosis, adenocarcinoma.
