A Case of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and Review of Literature

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), is a rare cause of diffuse cystic lung disease and primarily involves premenopausal female population. It is seen sporadic or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) usually establishes the diagnosis in patient with typical findings of thin walled cysts with normal lung parenchyma in between. Surgical lung biopsy is needed only in cases with high suspicion and minimal findings on HRCT.
