Unilateral Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2005Pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) resembles lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) in its clinical, radiologic, and histopathological features. Typical high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings are of bilateral thin-walled cysts symmetrically throughout both lungs, with associated increase in lung volumes.

Chest, 2008
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, cystic lung disease that is associated with mutations in tuberous sclerosis genes, renal angiomyolipomas, lymphatic spread, and remarkable female gender restriction. The clinical course of LAM is characterized by progressive dyspnea on exertion, recurrent pneumothorax, and chylous fluid collections.

Chylothorax in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis*
Chest, 2003Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, serious disorder characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth-muscle cells and affects almost exclusively women of childbearing age. Optimal management of chylothorax, a well-recognized complication of LAM, in these patients has not been defined.

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Pathology, 1994This paper reports a case of a 50 yr old premenopausal woman with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. This asymptomatic woman was found to have 'pulmonary nodules' on routine chest x-ray simulating metastatic lesions. The final diagnosis was possible after pathological examination of the lung biopsy specimens.

Lymphangiogenesis in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 2004Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterized by the proliferation of abnormal smooth muscle cells (LAM cells) in the lungs, lymph nodes, and/or other organs. We examined lymphangiogenesis using immunohistochemistry for Flt-4 (VEGFR-3), a new specific marker for lymphatic endothelial cells, as well as the expression of vascular endothelial growth ...

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: A review
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2008Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease, of unknown etiology, affecting women almost exclusively. Microscopically, LAM consists of a diffuse proliferation of smooth muscle cells. LAM can occur without evidence of other disease (sporadic LAM) or in conjunction with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

Current management of lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2011Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare but devastating disease, leading to chronic respiratory failure. Considerable progress for comprehension of the disease has been made when mutations of the tuberous sclerosis genes TSC1 and TSC2, were discovered in LAM cells.

Pleural Disease in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006Pleural disease is a common complication of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The incidence and recurrence rates of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in LAM are the highest among chronic pulmonary disorders. Most patients have at least one pneumothorax before LAM is diagnosed, and pneumothorax is often the sentinel event that leads to the diagnosis ...

Treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
New England Journal of Medicine, 1991Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease which afflicts young women of childbearing age. It is sufficiently uncommon that randomization or any other systematic evaluation of regimens of treatment has been difficult. Review of scattered case reports implies that a number of hormonal manipulations may be equally effective. A comprehensive review of the
