Shagreen Patch in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex at High-Frequency Ultrasound
We present a case of a 19-year-old female patient with tuberous sclerosis complex and a shagreen patch on her left dorsal region. Decreased echogenicity and increased thickness of the dermis were shown by high-frequency ultrasound. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported ultrasound image of a shagreen patch.
