Ashok Kumar Nagarajan, Krishnaswamy Manoharan, Shreya MoozhiyilIndian Journal of Dermatology 2023 68(1):123-123

Shagreen patch, a collagenoma of tuberous sclerosis, is a classical finding in this genodermatosis (Tuberous Sclerosis). Though the prototypical lesion is a shagreen patch, some individuals manifest only small collagenomas, and these can hinder a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis and thus mask underlying systemic involvement as was seen in this case we have reported, wherein...
