ABSTRACT
Chylothorax is a rare condition that results from thoracic duct disruption with malignant and nonmalignant etiologies manifesting as a pleural effusion. Typically, chylothorax in the setting of cirrhosis is associated with the migration of chylous ascites. We present the case of a 64-year-old male with prior liver transplant who presented with new-onset transudative chylothorax without chylous ascites who responded to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt revision, diuresis, and serial thoracentesis.
