Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that can affect any organ of the body. We report the first case of advanced colonic adenocarcinoma in a patient with well-documented TSC, offer rationales for the association of this lesion with TSC, and review the literature pertaining to gastrointestinal involvement of this complex.
