Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is now known to be associated with pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (PLAM). Patients with either isolated PLAM or pulmonary involvement in TSC suffer from progressive respiratory failure and death within ten years of diagnosis. We report a case of TSC with PLAM, and a short review of recent literature regarding the conditions.
