Abstract
We present the case of a patient having chylous vaginal discharge, which may be a symptom of the secondary to an established diagnosis of the systemic disorder, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a disease predominantly affecting women during their reproductive years. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis causes dyspnea, pneumothorax, chylous pleural effusions, and eventually respiratory failure.
