Surgical treatment of chylothorax caused by lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
[lymphangioleiomyomatosis]
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
(
LAM
)
is
a
rare
progressive
disease
caused
by
infiltration
of
smooth
muscle
-like
cells
in
lymph
vessels
as
well
as
the
lung
.
We
report
a
case
of
pulmonary
LAM
in
a
22
-
year
-old
female
with
shortness
of
breath
,
recurrent
pneumothorax
and
chylous
pleural
effusions
.
Multiple
ligation
of
thoracic
in
lower
part
of
thoracic
duct
was
performed
and
biopsy
of
thoracic
duct
confirmed
the
diagnosis
of
LAM
.
The
operation
was
successful
and
the
patient
was
discharged
.
Although
the
thoracic
duct
involvement
is
extensive
,
multiple
ligation
in
lower
part
of
thoracic
duct
may
be
a
good
choice
.
