A member asked:

My daughter was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex. will all such children get tumors?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable process: These kids get tubors, fleshy benign growths that can show up in a lot of places like the brain, heart, kidney etc.Thought they do not spread like cancer, they can interfere with normal organ function & trigger seizures.Ts can be very mild, i knew one mom who found out after college & chose to adopt rather than risk passing it on. Regular tests, ultrasound or ct can help avoid surprise complications.
