AbstractLymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a slow albeit progressive rare neoplastic disease featured with diffuse thin-walled cysts in lungs and angiomyolipomas in kidneys. LAM affects almost exclusively women and has one of the strongest gender predispositions of any extragenital human disease. Two forms of LAM present clinically, sporadic (S-LAM) and

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare multisystem disease predominantly affecting women that can occur sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis. Lung cysts progressively replace the lung parenchyma, which leads to dyspnea, recurrent pneumothorax, and in some cases respiratory failure.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease categorized by an overgrowth of atypical smooth muscle cells (LAM cells) in the lungs and axial lymphatics, which is associated with the mesenchymal tumor angiomyolipoma. The disease occurs in women generally in their mid thirties with a prevalence approximately 1 per million in the general population ...

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare disorder of unknown cause that occurs almost exclusively in women of childbearing years, is characterized microscopically by abnormal smooth muscle proliferation in the lung, lymphatics, and mediastinal, abdominal and lower cervical lymph nodes. LAM is associated with progressive dyspnea, recurrent pneumothoraces,

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006We report a case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) in a 33-year-old woman. Left pneumothorax was noted during a physical checkup at a local clinic. Multiple bullae in the bilateral lungs were also seen on chest computed tomography. Therefore, she underwent surgery for diagnosis and therapy. A large number of cysts of various sizes were seen in the left

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare idiopathic disease predominately affecting women. The disease is characterized by peribronchial, perivascular, and perilymphatic proliferation of smooth muscle like cells resulting in vascular and airway obstruction and cyst formation.

Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1981A case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is reported and the computed tomographic findings are described. The disease is characterized by chylous pleural effusions, a reticulonodular pattern, and the development of air trapping with bullous formation. Computed tomography is useful in demonstrating the early presence of these bullae and in excluding
