What Are Chances Of Tuberous Sclerosis After Angiomyolipoma?
Hi, I am 44 years old, and had a very large angiomyolipoma removed when I was 29 after it ruptured and I was bleeding internally. Would like to know what my chances of having Tuberous Sclerosis are and what kind of tests can be done to confirm or rule out TS ? Thanks, Sam Allen
