  • Title: Loculated mediastinal chylothorax resulting from esophagogastrectomy: a case report.
    Author: Lautin JL, Baran S, Dumitrescu O, Sakurai H, Halpern N, Lautin EM.
    Journal: J Thorac Imaging; 1993; 8(4):313-5. PubMed ID: 8246331.
    Abstract:
    The thoracic duct is closely related to the esophagus and the pleura. During an esophagogastrectomy, the thoracic duct is at risk for injury, which usually results in chylous pleural effusions. We present an uncommon situation, however, where the pleura was not violated and a large mediastinal lymph collection resulted.
