Clinically, chylothorax usually presents withprogressive breathlessness of acute or subacute thoracentesis usually results in the aspirationof a milky lymphocyte-predominant exudative fluid. Diag-nosis is confirmed when pleural fluid is found to containchylomicrons or when the pleural fluid triglyceride levelsexceed 110mg/dl [1 3].
