title: [Lymphangioleiomyomatosis].
abstract: A female patient is presented with a history of asthma, recurrent pneumothoraces and chylothoraces. A CT of the chest revealed typical thin-walled cysts of lymphangioleiomyomatosis. The suggested diagnosis was confirmed histologically. CT is exceptionally suited to narrow down the scope of differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases.
