Fig. 1

The representative image of a LAM patient with pulmonary lymphatic congestion. Computed tomography of the chest showing small nodules, irregularly increased parenchymal densities, thickening of interlobular septa, a major fissure and peribronchovascular interstitium in the right lower lung, and increased parenchymal densities in the lingula of the left lung. We obtained 6 biopsied specimens from the right lung by TBLB and established the diagnosis of LAM. The MGS of this patient were 0.833 and 1.17, respectively. Abbreviations: LAM, lymphangioleiomyomatosis; MGS, modified Goddard score; TBLB, transbronchial lung biopsy
