Tuberous sclerosis doesn't really mean 'hard potatoes'. It actually derives from the latin tuber meaning swelling and the greek skleros meaning hard. (Due to the hard swellings which are characteristic of the disease). Potatoes are tubers because they are swellings of the roots of the plant. Should I change this? -- Losgann 15:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
The intro says: ...skin lesions (called facial angiofibroma or adenoma sebaceum). The section on Outdated Terms says: Adenoma sebaceum. This misnomer is sometimes used to refer to TSC. - if they should not be called adenoma sebaceum then they should not be in the intro as 'called'. -- apers0n 22:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for checking and investigating. It is a shame there's nothing more recent. From p23 of Curatolo(2003), "Diagnosic Criteria", I get:
Earlier, when talking about Hunt and Lindenbaum's 1984 study, he says "The scientists believed that the birth prevalence might be even higher than it is now considered to be." I don't have that paper so don't have more details.
An editorial by Fryer (Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine 1991, 84:699) says "... suggesting a birth incidence of 1:10000". I don't have the Osborne paper you mention. I've seen 1:5800 mentioned but don't know its source at present.
My sources seem to use incidence and prevalence interchangeably wrt to birth. I'm happy to change it if you think it may be less ambiguous.
The list of prevalence figures throughout the years comes from Curatolo (2003), Table 2.6, page 22. This in turn is based on an earlier table by Shepherd in his short chapter "The Epidemiology of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex" in the book Gomez 1999. The earlier table doesn't have the O'Callaghan figure.
I'll see if I can get hold of some of the other papers, but it isn't easy. Colin° Talk 10:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The name "Tuberous sclerosis of the cerebral convolutions" was proposed by Bourneville in 1880 when he described the pathology in the brain of a child. The longer name, tuberous sclerosis complex, was first proposed by the pathologist Moolten 1942. This was to emphasis the large variety of organ involvement, not just the brain. In the preface to the 3rd edition of Gomez 1999 (the authority, until his death) he writes
As with many names, people shorten it when speaking and writing informally. Many support organisations use the shortened form in their name (it is long enough!) They do use the full name when writing about the medical condition in detail. The proper name is "tuberous sclerosis complex" which also explains the acronym TSC. I propose for consideration that the article is moved to tuberous sclerosis complex, with appropriate redirects of course. Colin° Talk 11:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
