  • Title: Conservative management of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis and tuberous sclerosis complicated by renal angiomyolipomas in pregnancy.
    Author: Cleary-Goldman J, Sanghvi AV, Nakhuda GS, Robinson JN.
    Journal: J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med; 2004 Feb; 15(2):132-4. PubMed ID: 15209123.
    Abstract:
    Both pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis and tuberous sclerosis are rare diseases. The optimal management in pregnancy is unclear. A primigravida with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis and tuberous sclerosis complicated by worsening renal function secondary to angiomyolipomas was managed conservatively. Favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes were achieved. Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a consideration in tuberous sclerosis patients with respiratory symptoms. Tuberous sclerosis patients with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis require cautious and calculated expectant management in an effort to avoid adverse outcomes.
