The incidence of nontraumatic chylothorax is sufficiently low that most primary care physicians are unclear about the criteria for this diagnosis and the proper treatment options. A ten-year review of patients with pleural effusion treated by the university medical service identified 12 individuals with chylothorax. These patients and a current review of the English language medical literature provide us an opportunity to review the clinical presentation of chylothorax. The differential diagnosis and treatment options are reviewed.
非创伤性乳糜胸的发病率极低，以至于大多数初级保健医生并不清楚该诊断的标准以及合适的治疗方案。一项对大学医疗服务机构治疗的胸腔积液患者进行的十年回顾研究，确定了12例乳糜胸患者。这些患者以及对英文医学文献的最新回顾，为我们提供了一个回顾乳糜胸临床表现的机会。本文对鉴别诊断和治疗方案进行了综述。
