  • Title: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis associated with pulmonary metastasis from an occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid: report of a case occurring in a patient without tuberous sclerosis.
    Author: Cavazza A, Roggeri A, Zini M, Rossi G, Zucchi L.
    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 2002; 198(12):825-8. PubMed ID: 12608660.
    Abstract:
    We report on 50-year-old woman without tuberous sclerosis, presenting with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. A CT-scan of the chest showed multiple, bilateral, thin-walled cysts, consistent with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. A videothoracoscopic lung biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, but revealed also a micrometastasis from an occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland. The main histologic differential diagnosis and the possible correlation between lymphangioleiomyomatosis and thyroid diseases are briefly discussed.
