Abstract

Our case represents a rare and perhaps unique and unusual occurrence of in situ lung adenocarcinoma in a patient who is a known case of tuberous sclerosis. We do not know, yet, if the association of lung adenocarcinoma and tuberous sclerosis is a coincidental finding or there is a casual relationship. However, further studies are warranted to highlight the nature of the linkage between the two conditions.
