Ans: (b) AngiomyolipomaRobbins Pathology, 9th editionTumours in tuberous sclerosisRenal angiomyolipomas develop in as many as 80% of people with tuberous sclerosis by the age of 10 years.Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is present in as many as 40% of adult women with tuberous sclerosis. Though the incidence is more common in women than in men, since the question also has angiomyolipoma I personally prefer to go for renal angiomyolipomas.If the question comes in future without angiomyolipomas - go for Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - since the overall incidence of it is 1-4% (WHO) and in women it is close to 40% (WHO).Diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosisMajor features*. >3 hypomelanotic macules > 5 mm in diameter*. >3 angiofibromas or fibrous cephalic plaque*. >2 ungual fibromas*.
