title: [Bilateral multifocal pulmonary leiomyomatosis].
abstract: A case of diffuse primary pulmonary leiomyomatosis with a 24-years-old asymptomatic woman having a pulmonary radiological aspect of miliary dissemination 3 years after a myomectomy for sub-serous uterine fibroma. The diagnosis was established after a surgical pulmonary biopsy. The case presented certain peculiar features: a young woman; the inter-relation between pulmonary leiomyomatosis and the operated sub-serous uterine fibroma; the aggravating factor--the pregnancy; a confirmed probably hormonal cause (hyperestrogenemia); a progressive aggravating evolution.
