[Radiologic findings of lymphangiomyomatosis: a case report].
Lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that occurs predominantly in women of reproductive age. We report on a 17-year old female patient with chylothorax and smooth muscle proliferation of lymphatic vessels in the retrocrural, retroperitoneal and mesenteric space. Radiological procedures and especially computerized tomography proved particularly suitable for detecting abdominal changes and their localisation.
