A patient in whom chylothorax was the presenting feature of sarcoidosis is reported. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy was shown by computed tomographic scanning. Obstruction of the thoracic duct by enlarged lymph nodes or fibrosis is the probable cause of chylothorax in this case. The association of chylothorax and sarcoidosis is extremely rare.
本文报道了一例以乳糜胸为结节病首发表现的患者。计算机断层扫描显示纵隔淋巴结肿大。在该病例中,乳糜胸可能是由于肿大的淋巴结或纤维化阻塞胸导管所致。乳糜胸与结节病的关联极为罕见。
