The authors present the first case of lymphangiomyomatosis in a pediatric patient. Radiographic findings, biopsy, computerized tomography, and electron microscopy were useful in detailing the presentation of early onset of pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis. The unusual presentation of this child includes a description of her disease prior to any pulmonary symptomatology and 4 years of follow-up.
