In this case there are three major features of tuberous sclerosis diagnostic criteria: subependymal nodules, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and renal angimyolipomas (more than 2). So patient has a definite TS complex. Interestingly, patient has no clinical symptoms or skin lesions.

Hepatic hypervascular lesions can be interpreted as angiomatous type of hepatic angiomyolipomas without macroscopic fat.
