Renal and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis: a case report

Eur J Radiol. 2000 Dec;36(3):126-9. doi: 10.1016/s0720-048x(00)00161-3.

Abstract

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that most commonly involves the lung. However, extrapulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis rarely occurs with or without subsequent involvement of the lung. We report a case of incidentally found renal and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis in a patient who had no stigmata of tuberous sclerosis.
