Abstract

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a multisystem disorder, predominantly affecting women. It is characterized by cystic lung lesions, abdominal angiomyolipomas (AML) and lymphatic abnormalities. Our patient was admitted with dyspnea, anorexia, left side chest pain and history of recurrent pneumothorax. She was evaluated with HRCT Thorax & Bronchoscopic biopsy for histopathology and immunohistochemistry. She was diagnosed LAM. She was started on Oral Medroxyprogesterone acetate.
