H Logginidou, X Ao, I Russo, EP Henske - Chest, 2000 - Elsevier
Objective To determine whether renal angiomyolipomasfrom women with pulmonary
lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) expressestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone
receptor (PR). Design Retrospective study of archival tissue. Patients Twelve women with
LAM and angiomyolipomas. Setting Fox Chase Cancer Center. Interventions ER and PR
expression was studied usingimmunohistochemistry. The hormonal status of the patients at
the timeof resection of the angiomyolipoma was determined. Results Ten of the …
