VATS therapy of chylothorax caused by leiomyomatosis complicated with tuberous sclerosis complex.
[lymphangioleiomyomatosis]
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
with
tuberous
sclerosis
complex
is
a
rare
disease
.
One
of
the
most
frequent
complications
of
lymphangioleiomyomatosis
is
pleural
effusion
(
chylothorax
)
wich
can
be
treated
with
the
use
of
VATS
.
Authors
report
a
case
of
pulmonary
lymphangioleiomyomatosis
in
a
56
-
year
-old
female
patient
with
tuberous
sclerosis
complex
with
an
8
-
week
history
of
recurrent
chylothorax
,
dyspnea
and
debilitating
weakness
.
By
CT
scan
a
flat
tissue
proliferation
was
seen
in
the
site
of
the
thoracic
duct
and
it
was
supposed
to
be
the
reason
for
the
pleural
effusion
.
A
VATS
resection
of
this
laesion
and
ligation
of
the
thoracic
duct
was
performed
successfully
.
Chylothorax
is
often
associated
with
pulmonary
lymphangioleiomyomatosis
.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
combined
with
tuberous
sclerosis
complex
is
extremely
rare
.
In
case
of
chylothorax
VATS
treatment
is
successful
and
may
be
the
first
choice
.
