This rare condition was diagnosed in the stage of a history of resection of left renal tumor of angiomyolipoma and recurrant pneumothrax with PCR of positive tuberculosis bacilla, special chest CT scan with thin wall cyst. These female patients are in reproductive age, using consistantly sex hormone. The prognosis is similar with COPD. Early detection and treatment of the case slowers the progression of disease.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, autosomal dominant multisystem disorder affecting the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and skin leading to significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of TSC and highlight the need for prompt diagnosis and proper surveillance to minimize life‑threatening complications. A 20‑year‑old female presented with facial and ungual papulonodular lesions 4 years after being diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of eight. No family history of genetic diseases was reported. Eight years later, the patient developed recurrent cough, shortness of breath, and blurring of vision. Biopsy of facial and digital nodule showed angiofibroma and ungual fibroma (Koenen tumor), respectively. Chest computed tomography scan revealed extensive cystic lesions diffusely scattered throughout the entire lung parenchyma suggestive of lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Cranial MRI revealed cortical and subependymal tubers, compatible with TSC. The patient had multidisciplinary management. However, her symptoms progressed, and she eventually succumbed to death. Cutaneous lesions such as facial angiofibromas and ungual fibromas along with multisystemic manifestations should alarm the clinician to TSC. Given its highly variable expressivity, awareness of different TSC‑associated signs and symptoms is essential for prompt diagnosis, proper treatment, disease monitoring, and early recognition of TSC complications.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease that is characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth muscle-like cells, especially that which occurs in the pulmonary parenchyme. It primarily affects women of child-bearing age. The majority of primary lymphangioleiomyomatosis occurs in the lung, but there are a few reports of extrapulmonary cases. We experienced a rare case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis which originated in the pelvic cavity (in the posterior portion of the uterus), and report with brief review of literatures.

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is uncommon debilitating disease, predominantly affecting women of childbearing age. Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most common renal lesion in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS), but, even without TS, is reported in up to 60% of the patients with LAM, which is frequently diagnosed several years before the LAM itself. However, it is extremely rare for renal AML and pulmonary LAM to simultaneously present in tuberous sclerosis complex. Herein, a case of spontaneous rupture of a renal AML, accompanied by pulmonary LAM, in a reproductive female with TS, managed by selective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), is reported.
