Linfangioleiomiomatose pulmonar inicial provável e linfangioleiomioma mediastínico

Abstract: A 68 year old woman was submitted to a mediastinal lymphangioleiomyoma resection found in a follow-up study of lower left lung resection due to bronchiectasis complicated by chylothorax. This led to a revaluation of the pulmonary specimen that revealed, in addition to inflammatory bronchiectasis, small spindle cell nodules in the lung parenchyma, similar to minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules, but with smooth muscle actin immunohistochemical positivity. The possibility of initial pulmonary development… Show more

“…Lymphangioleiomyoma is most commonly localized in the retroperitoneal space and the uterus and in surrounding lymph nodes [6,24,27]. Moreover, E-LAM foci developing in the mediastinum [36], supraclavicular lymph nodes [37,38], liver [39], walls of the small and large intestine [40,41], pancreas [26,42], mesentery [43] have been described. E-LAM masses can reach very large sizes -cases of tumors with the greatest length 15-22 cm have been described [18,[44][45][46] -and can extend along lymph vessels -coming from the retroperitoneal space to the chest [19], and further even along the neck along with the sternocleidomastoid muscle [47].…”
