Renal and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis: a case report.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that most commonly involves the lung. However, extrapulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis rarely occurs with or without subsequent involvement of the lung. We report a case of incidentally found renal and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis in a patient who had no stigmata of tuberous sclerosis.
