  • Title: [A combined mediastinal and retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma as a rare cause of recurrent pleural effusion].
    Author: Wagenhäuser PJ, Mölleken C, Walter JW, Heyer CM, Nicolas V.
    Journal: Pneumologie; 2013 May; 67(5):265-9. PubMed ID: 23539365.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 71-year-old female patient with spontaneous unilateral recurrent chylothoraces - at first glance with no apparent cause. After performing CT, MRI, lymphatic scintigraphy, and CT-guided biopsy, we were able to establish the diagnosis of a combined mediastinal and retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma. Together with a review of the literature concerning cystic lymphangioma, we also discuss possible differential diagnoses of chylothoraces.
