Abstract
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease of unknown origin that usually leads to progressive deterioration of lung function and eventual death from respiratory failure. It occurs in women of reproductive age and people with tuberous sclerosis. Lung transplantation is a recent therapeutic approach.Keywords
