[Bronchial casts associated with pulmonary lymphatic anomalies].
We report a case of a patient who presented with bronchial moulds. The classic causes, particularly bronchopulmonary aspergillosis could not be found. The pulmonary radiology and CT of thorax revealed an alveolar syndrome. Lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy showed evidence of lymphatic anomalies including the non-visualisation of the thoracic canal. In the absence of evidence for other diseases, we would suggest that these anomalies were responsible for the symptomatology.
