| Popis: | Chylothorax is the presence of chylus in the pleural cavity and is due to the damage or blockage of the thoracic duct. Surgery or trauma is the most common cause of chylothorax. Malignant lymphoma is the most common cause among nontraumatic etiology. Whenever a chylothorax of unknown etiology occurs, we should rule out underlying malignant lymphoma. Here, we present a case of lymphoma presented with bilateral chylothorax. |
