Resumen
ARPA GAMEZ, Ángel et al. Linfangioleiomiomatosis. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2003, vol.32, n.4. ISSN 0138-6557.
The case of a 30-year-old black female patient with hystory of nephrectomy due to kidney cysts that seeked for medical assistance due to dyspnea and cough., is presented. A pleural chylous bilateral effusion was detected and during the evolution she suffered from a spontaneous pneumothorax. High resolution computed tomography was performed and the characteristic image of a pulmonary lymphagioleiomyomatosis was observed. A brief review of the entity was made. It was concluded that the case was typical of this rare entity and that the kidney cysts for which she underwent nephrectomy may have correponded to kidney angiolipomas, which are characteristic of this disease.
