A case of pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis in a 28-year-old woman with dyspnea, hemoptysis, chylothorax and irregular menstruation as presenting symptoms was reported. Chest CT scan showed the presence of pleural effusion on right side and a honeycomb pattern throughout the lung parenchyma bilaterally. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically by transbronchial lung biopsy.

The etiology, clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics and treatment of this disease were discussed.
