Care and Treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)

What Is LAM?

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a low-grade neoplastic disease driven by mutations in one or other of the two tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) genes. LAM is very predominantly a disease seen in women, as an apparent sporadic disease or alternatively as a feature of the multiorgan disease tuberous sclerosis (TSC). While kidney and other organ involvement can be seen in LAM, the principal disease feature of LAM is a progressive cystic lung injury and destruction caused by abnormal cells bearing TSC gene mutations. LAM management is directed at controlling lung disease as well as any other organ features of disease, and drug therapy with rapamycin (sirolimus) is a central aspect of management.
