Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Abstract
A case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is reported and the computed tomographic findings are described. The disease is characterized by chylous pleural effusions, a reticulonodular pattern, and the development of air trapping with bullous formation. Computed tomography is useful in demonstrating the early presence of these bullae and in excluding a malignant etiology in a patient with spontaneous chylothorax.
