Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disorder of abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells which results in the formation of thin-walled cysts and progressive lung destruction. It commonly presents with progressive dyspnea that is often associated with a history of pneumothorax or chylothorax particularly among females of reproductive age. In this report, we present a case of hydropneumothorax as the initial presentation of LAM in a 33-year-old woman, a rather rare presentation. We also discuss the pathogenetic mechanisms, the diagnosis, and treatment strategies using mTOR inhibitors like sirolimus.
