title: [Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis and sex hormones].
abstract: The authors having prepared for a case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomatosis point out the diagnostic boundaries of this condition with benign metastasizing intravenous leiomyomas of the uterus, pulmonary localisation of Bourneville's tuberous sclerosis and the important aetio pathologic role of sex hormones. Finally they deal with the therapeutic management and the various uses of hormones to inhibit oestrogenic activity.
