    Abstract:
    We reported successful anesthetic management of a 34 year-old woman with diffuse pulmonary hamartoangiomyomatosis associated with spontaneous pneumothorax. She had recurrent pneumothorax and chest X-ray film showed reticulo-granular shadow, and chest CT revealed multiple bullae. Induced by thiopental and succinylcholine, anesthesia was maintained safely with enflurane in oxygen. Nitrous oxide was used after thoracotomy. This disease accompanies multiple bullae in the lung and some patients have complications such as tuberous sclerosis or hemangioma of the kidney. Therefore, we have to pay attention to both bullae and other complications.
