FERNANDEZ, ALICIA; RODRIGUEZ, ÁNGELES; GUTIERREZ, CARMEN and ALBERTI, MARTA. Linfangiomatosis pulmonar difusa.: Una causa poco frecuente de insuficiencia respiratoria en el niño . Arch. Pediatr. Urug. [online]. 2005, vol.76, n.2, pp.135-139. ISSN 1688-1249.
A 12 years old girl presented with dyspnea, weight loss, pulmonary infiltrates and pleural effusions. The lung lesion as seen at the necropsy consisted of a lymphatic vascular proliferation limited to interstitial septae, bronchi, adventitia of large vessels and pleura. Disseminated lymphangiomatosis is a rare disorder with a poor prognosis.
