Chest Xray was done which was suggestive of right sided pnemothorax. Her HRCT-chest showed multiple parenchymal cyst and was evaluated further with bronchoscopy. Transbronchial lung biopsy was taken which reported as lymphangioliomyomatosis. She was treated with Intercostal drain and oral progesterone supplements.
