Abstract
Lymphangioleiomyoma volume decreased during the fasting state. Conversely, a combination of food intake and decreased chyle flow through lymphatics partially obstructed by LAM cells may account for increases in lymphangioleiomyoma size. Imaging studies performed under fasting conditions may help in determining whether an abdominal tumor is a result of LAM or malignancy.
