ABSTRACT
The authors report the clinical and computed tomographic (CT) findings in six patients with chyliform pleural effusion. All six patients had a medical history of pleurisy before presentation; five of them had tuberculous pleural effusion. The CT scans of all six patients showed variable amounts of pleural fluid collection with a layering of fat at the nondependent site.
