Objective:

To report a case of TSC-LAM and emphasize the critical role of individualized treatment and systematic family screening in improving patient outcomes.

Key Findings:
  • The patient remained clinically stable with no significant adverse effects after treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of sirolimus.
  • Imaging showed no progression of pulmonary cysts and a reduction in renal angiomyolipoma volume, indicating positive treatment response.
  • Therapeutic drug monitoring was crucial in maintaining sirolimus levels within the target range, ensuring safety and efficacy.
Interpretation:

The case emphasizes the need for early recognition and individualized therapy in managing TSC-LAM.

Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, which limits generalizability and may introduce biases.
  • Long-term outcomes beyond the reported follow-up period are not addressed, necessitating further research.
Conclusion:

Individualized treatment with sirolimus and systematic family screening are crucial in managing TSC-LAM, emphasizing the need for early intervention and ongoing monitoring.
