Abstract
Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is an uncommon disease principally affecting women during childbearing years and eventually leading to progressive respiratory failure. Lung transplantation is a viable option for patients with end-stage disease. LAM-related complications remain common, but recurrence of LAM following allograft transplantation is rare. We present a 25-year-old woman who presented with progressive dyspnea five years after bilateral lung transplantation for end-stage LAM. Histological examination of transbronchial lung biopsy sample confirmed recurrent LAM. We changed cyclosporine to sirolimus and she is currently being considered for re-transplantation.
