摘要: 目的 探讨无神经系统症状的婴幼儿结节性硬化症的临床特点。 方法 分析12例婴幼儿期结节性硬化症患儿的临床表现,同时对其中5例进行反射式共聚焦显微镜检查,2例进行皮肤活检组织病理检查及电镜检查。 结果 12例患儿就诊年龄2 ~ 18个月,中位数8.6个月。在出现神经症状前,多表现为色素脱失斑、侧脑室室管膜下结节/脑室壁结节、心脏横纹肌瘤和肾脏多发囊肿。5例行反射式共聚焦显微镜检查,结果均表现为色素环结构完整,无缺失,折光变暗,边缘不清晰。组织病理检查:基底细胞色素颗粒及黑素细胞局灶减少;电镜检查:基底层黑素细胞胞质中可见正常数量黑素颗粒。 结论 婴幼儿期的结节性硬化在出现神经症状前,主要表现为色素脱失斑,临床上易与白癜风相混淆,反射式共聚焦显微镜检查结果可以作为与色素减退类疾病相鉴别的依据之一。

Abstract: Xiao Yuanyuan, Xing Huan, Xu Jiaosheng, Ma Lin Department of Dermatology, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100045, China Corresponding author: Xing Huan, Email: xinghuan63@aliyun.com 【Abstract】 Objective To investigate clinical characteristics of tuberous sclerosis (TSC) without nervous system abnormalities in infants. Methods Clinical manifestations of 12 infants with TSC were analyzed. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) was performed in 5 of the 12 infants. Two patients underwent histopathological examination and electron microscopic examination. Results The age at first clinic visit for TSC ranged from 2 to 18 months (median, 8.6 months) among these patients. Before occurrence of nervous symptom, TSC mainly manifested as hypomelanotic macules, nodules in the subependymal layer or walls of lateral ventricles of the brain, cardiac rhabdomyoma and multiple renal cysts. RCM revealed intact dermal papillary rings with low reflectivity and obscure boundaries in 5 infants. Histopathological examination showed a local decrease in melanocytes and pigment granules in basal cells. Electron microscopic examination showed a normal number of melanin granules in the cytoplasm of melanocytes in the basal layer. Conclusions Before appearance of nervous system abnormalities, TSC mainly manifests as hypomelanotic macules in infants, and is easily confused with vitiligo in clinic. RCM examination may serve as a useful method to distinguish infant TSC from hypopigmented diseases.
