Abstract
A 47 year old woman receiving oestrogen replacement therapy for primar y amenorrhoea presented with recurrent chylothorax. The clinical and r adiological features of her illness were characteristic of pulmonary l ymphangio-leiomyomatosis, a rare hormone-dependent disease. The condit ion was treated with pleurodesis and withdrawal of oestrogen therapy.
