Few data are available regarding the epidemiology of this disease, the frequency of the various forms with mild to moderate or severe disease, and the rapid or slow progression. Several sources of information will be used in order to increase completeness.

This study will provide the first detailed epidemiological information on Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, will assess the management of this rare disease within the French National Plan for rare diseases 2005 - 2009, and will provide valuable medical information prior to the establishment of clinical trials
