Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 9(2021)
摘要
Chylothorax occurs by accumulation of lymphatic fluid from the ductus thoracicus into the pleural cavity. Chylous fluid typically contains high levels of triglycerides, generally displaying a cloudy and milky appearance. Chylothorax is caused by a trauma or obstruction of ductus thoracicus. Nontraumatic etiologies include malignancies, sarcoidosis, retrosternal goiter, amyloidosis, superior vena cava thrombosis, benign tumors, congenital abnormalities such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis and hemangiomatosis Here we aimed to present a rare case who presented with shortness of breath due to chylothorax and diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Also, chylothorax cases diagnosed with ALL in the literature are shown in this report.
