[Spontaneous idiopathic chylothorax. Case report and review of the literature]. / Chylothorax spontané idiopathique. Revue de la littèrature á propos d'un cas.

ABSTRACT

We present a new case of bilateral spontaneous idiopathic pneumothorax, occurring in a 52-year-old woman. A literature review of similar cases shows a quite reproducible picture, consisting in the occurrence of supraclavicular swelling and left or bilateral chylothorax after a mild effort in a woman in her fifties.
