were large tubers that contained dysplastic neurons with a partially modified morphology of pyramidal, multipolar or bipolar large neurons (Fig. 1d) and irregularly shaped medium and small neurons. Neurons in the small nodules were small and poorly differentiated (Fig. 1e). In the large nodules, several hypocellular areas were observed. The nodules were free of oval or polygonal giant cells or ballooned glial cells, as well as signs of calcification.
