[Pulmonary involvement in lymphangioleiomyomatosis: studies using high-resolution computed tomography].

Three female patients with histories of lymphangiomyomatosis are reported. Each was examined by means of high resolution computerized tomography. All three cases showed homogeneous distribution of cystic lesions in the pulmonary parenchyma. This pattern may be regarded as typical and may even be pathognomonic. In two patients lymphomas of the retroperitoneal space and renal masses were found.
