Respiratory distress caused by pleural effusion resulted from chylothorax. Thoracic drainage and lowfat dietary therapy was effective in removing and preventing significant recurrence of the chylothorax; however, the patient died unexpectedly. At necropsy a blastomycotic granuloma found at the precava was considered the cause of the chylothorax. There had been no recognizable antemortem signs of blastomycosis. Blastomycosis can be considered as a rare cause of chylothorax.
乳糜胸导致的胸腔积液引起呼吸窘迫。胸腔引流和低脂饮食疗法在消除乳糜胸并防止其显著复发方面有效；然而，患者意外死亡。尸检时在前腔静脉发现的芽生菌性肉芽肿被认为是乳糜胸的病因。生前并无明显的芽生菌病体征。芽生菌病可被视为乳糜胸的一种罕见病因。
