Disease area: Interstitial lung diseases, Respiratory infectionsAbstract LAM is one of the rare cystic lung diseases usually found in women of childbering age group. Mediastinal and pelvic lymphadenopathy have been reported in many cases with LAM.
We present the first case with axillary and paraspinal lymphadenopathy in a patient with radiological featues of LAM.
Background: A 40 year old woman presented with gradually worsening breathlessnss over two years time. This was associated with cough and clear sputum production.
