A 51 year old man developed chylothorax from a non-Hodgkin lymphoma located in the abdomen. The main causes of chylothorax are trauma and malignant disease. The condition is quite often idiopathic. The treatment is usually a combination of surgical treatment, conservative treatment, high voltage radiation and/or pleurodesis with a sclerosing agent.
