Renal angiomyolipoma in association with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

The authors report on a premenopausal female hemodialysis patient with relapsing pneumothorax, in whom the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) was made. Ten years earlier, she had retroperitoneal bleeding from a kidney tumor corresponding to an angiomyolipoma (AML). The association between renal AML and pulmonary LAM is reviewed.
