[A case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis found due to chylous ascites, pleural effusion and pelvic lymphadenopathy].

We report a case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, complaining initially of abdominal distension due to massive chylous ascites. The patient was a 28-year-old woman in whom abdominal ultrasound had strongly suggested the existence of both pelvic lymphadenopathy and massive ascites, the latter subsequently turning out to be chylous. Pelvic lymph node biopsy yielded a diagnosis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
