Abstract
A 47 year old woman receiving oestrogen replacement therapy for primary amenorrhoea presented with recurrent chylothorax. The clinical and radiological features of her illness were characteristic of pulmonary lymphangio-leiomyomatosis, a rare hormone-dependent disease. The condition was treated with pleurodesis and withdrawal of oestrogen therapy.
