CT was performed and demonstrated multiple cysts throughout the lungs. The pneumothorax was noted to be loculated and predominantly in the lower portion of the right hemithorax.
Fat containing lesions were noted in both kidneys consistent with angiomyolipomas. Subsequently, it was learned that the patient had a history of lymphangioleiomyomatosis and had a prior pleurodesis.
