Summary Multiple facial angiofibroma are thought to be a pathognomonic and common, feature of tuberous sclerosis. In contrast, it is rare to see multiple angiofibroma limited to one side of the face. We have studied a patient with multiple angiofibroma of one cheek, in order to search for other manifestations of tuberous sclerosis and to determine the histochemical identity of the angiofibroma. No evidence of other pathology known to be associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex was uncovered. Histopathology of the unilateral lesions revealed focal fibroplasias and positive cellular staining for factor XIIIa and vimentin similar to that described for bilateral angiofibroma. We suggested that the segmental expression of tuberous sclerosis, in the form of unilateral facial angiofibroma may result from a postzygotic mutation.
