[Multiple angioleiomyomas of both lungs. Probable hamartomatous tumors. Very late death due to respiratory insufficiency].

Case presentation : Multiple tumor nodules in both lungs, identified by biopsy and necropsy, in a 48 year old woman, 8 years after radiological discovery ; death due to respiratory failure after long tolerance ; peculiar angio-leiomyomatous type pulmonary tumors. This purely pulmonary tumor disease is difficult to understand ; the most probable hypothesis envisaged is that of hamartomatosis ; comparison with certain general dysplastic disease is possible, and in particular Bourneville's disease and lymphangio-myomatosis.
