Chylothoraces are mostly secondary to trauma and tumors, and rarely idiopathic. Chylothoraces secondary to lung tumors are mostly seen postoperatively. In this article, we, for the first time, present massive chylothorax developing after diagnostic transthoracic Tru-cut biopsy in a lung adenocarcinoma case. The patient was successfully treated with drainage and octreotide. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that chylothorax can be also seen as a complication after interventional biopsy procedures; therefore, the patients should be followed carefully.
乳糜胸大多继发于创伤和肿瘤，很少为特发性。继发于肺部肿瘤的乳糜胸多见于术后。在本文中，我们首次报道了1例肺腺癌患者在经胸壁细针穿刺活检术后发生大量乳糜胸的病例。该患者经胸腔闭式引流及奥曲肽治疗后痊愈。总之，应牢记介入性活检术后也可能出现乳糜胸这一并发症，因此应对患者进行密切随访。
