Chylothorax is an uncommon cause of pleural effusion in routine clinical practice. Thoracic surgery, trauma and malignancy are the leading causes of chylothorax accounting for more than 90% of cases.1,2 We report this rare case of a middle aged lady with treated carcinoma breast who presented with left-sided chylothorax secondary to subclavian vein and superior vena cava thrombosis caused by a longstanding indwelling chemo-port in the right internal jugular vein. Patient was managed on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) leading to complete resolution of chylothorax.
乳糜胸在常规临床实践中是胸腔积液的一种罕见病因。胸外科手术、创伤和恶性肿瘤是乳糜胸的主要病因，占病例的90%以上。1,2我们报告了一例罕见病例，一名中年女性乳腺癌患者，因长期留置在右颈内静脉的化疗端口导致锁骨下静脉和上腔静脉血栓形成，继发左侧乳糜胸。患者接受全胃肠外营养（TPN）治疗，乳糜胸完全消退。
