Abstract

PURPOSE: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a progressive pulmonary disease which may ultimately require lung transplantation. Many patients develop pneumothorax (70%) or chylothorax (30%) requiring pleural interventions which can complicate lung transplantation and affect candidacy. Management strategies for pleural complications of LAM remain controversial.
