Popis:	Chylous leakage is an uncommon and serious clinical condition, especially occurring after retroperitoneal operations. Here, we report a case of cervical chylous leakage combined with chylothorax in a 57-year-old woman postretroperitoneal surgery, and our conservative approach led to resolution/clinical improvement. The causes of this rare complication are discussed. We considered that the venous thrombosis, the increased intra-abdominal pressure, or the patient positioning during the surgery may lead to the chylous particles leakage and chylothorax. Because of its rarity, we hope this case report will improve clinicians’ understanding of cervical chylous leakage combined with chylothorax and provide suitable treatment options for future clinical reference.
