One of the most influential moments of an International Medical student studying medicine in Greece. To follow the steps of Hippocrates in the island ofKos where he was born, to Athens, and to Larissa the city where the father of modern medicine lived for 40 years until his death

@schowardjd (9) Key takeaways for patients and caregivers
A shagreen patch is an important skin clue that may point to tuberous sclerosis, a genetic condition that requires a broader medical assessment.

[Prof Dimitrios P Bogdanos @DBogdanos]

@schowardjd (7) Management: Shagreen patches themselves are typically benign. Management focuses on the broader TSC syndrome: Dermatologic options for cosmetics may include laser therapy or topical treatments in selected cases. Regular surveillance for associated organ manifestations is key

[Prof Dimitrios P Bogdanos @DBogdanos]

@schowardjd (6) Correlation: Patients with shagreen patches may have other TSC-associated manifestations such as angiofibromas (facial), cortical tubers, subependymal nodules, renal angiomyolipomas, cardiac rhabdomyomas, and glaucoma. An evaluation is often warranted in suspected TSC.

[Prof Dimitrios P Bogdanos @DBogdanos]

@schowardjd (5) Diagnostic significance

Major feature: Shagreen patch is considered a major diagnostic criterion for TSC in many revised criteria sets (e.g., 2012 International TSC Consensus Guidelines). Its presence supports the diagnosis, particularly when other features are present.
