The latter include adenoma sebaceum (angiofibroma presenting as firm, discrete, red or brown telangiectatic papules located in the nasolabial folds, chin, and cheeks), shagreen patches (irregularly thickened skin-coloured or brown elevated plaques, usually in the lumbosacral region), periungual and gingival fibromas, and hypopigmented macules.
