Tuberous Sclerosis with Pulmonary Involvement

Abstract

Pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis (pTS) is very rare and seems to be associated with a more benign course, compared to tuberous sclerosis without pulmonary manifestation (TS). Furthermore, pTS seems to be related to lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM). We present the case of a 33-year-old woman in whom the overlap of TS, pTS and LAM is demonstrated. Treatment with medroxyprogesterone was initiated, but without success.
