Tuberosclerosis
complex is a genetic disorder that can
affect several organs (such as the brain, lungs kidneys, eyes, the heart, bones
and the skin). Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a disease that is mostly
seen among young adult women. It is characterized primarily by the
non-neoplastic atypical proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the lung
parenchyma. Here, we present a case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis-associated
spontaneous hemopneumothorax in a tuberosclerosis patient, which we did not
encounter in the literature.
Tuberosklerozis kompleksi, beyin, akciğer, böbrek,
göz, kalp, kemik ve deri gibi organları etkileyebilen genetik bir hastalıktır. Pulmoner
lenfanjiyoleiyomiyomatozis daha çok genç erişkin bayanlarda görülen bir
hastalıktır. Akciğer parankimindeki düz kas hücrelerinin neoplastik olmayan
atipik proliferasyonu ile karakterizedir. Biz burada literatürde
karşılaşmadığımız tuberosklerozis hastasında lenfanjiyoleiyomiyomatozise bağlı
spontan hemopnömotoraks olgusunu sunuyoruz.
