Chylothorax and Pseudochylothorax
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2021Classically, both chylothorax and pseudochylothorax present as a pleural effusion with a characteristic milky white appearance to the pleural fluid. Although both are rare causes of pleural effusion, they have distinct etiologies and clinical implications, and as a result require different management strategies.

Chylothorax is defined as an accumulation of chyle in the pleural space caused by disruption of the thoracic duct or one of its major divisions. Chyle has a high content of triglycerides. The odorless fluid is turbid and milky due to the presence of fat containing particles, the chylomicrons.

The management of chylothorax requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the major thoracic lymphatics, prompt diagnosis, and (with rare exception) conservative management, including evacuation of the pleural space, nutritional support, and measures to reduce chyle production.

Chylothorax or chylous pleural effusion occurs when chyle accumulates in the pleural space usually secondary to disruption of thoracic lymphatics. Chyle is a milky, white, opalescent fluid that is formed when long-chain triglycerides in the diet are transformed into chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins, which are then secreted into intestinal

Chylothorax is a rare complication of pulmonary resection. It requires prompt treatment, which is initially conservative. This treatment consists of drainage, nutritional support, and measures to diminish chyle flow. Surgical intervention is indicated when conservative management is ineffective.

Chylothorax is a condition that is debilitating to the point of threatening life. There is controversy over its management, in particular the relative merits of conservative measures and the timing of surgical intervention.The literature is reviewed from the basic sciences of chyle composition and flow, to diagnostic approaches, the complications of ...

Chylothorax in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis*
Chest, 2003Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, serious disorder characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth-muscle cells and affects almost exclusively women of childbearing age. Optimal management of chylothorax, a well-recognized complication of LAM, in these patients has not been defined.
