Abstract
Chylothorax is a rare clinical entity characterized by a milky white aspirate with increased triglyceride levels. The commonest etiology is malignancy and trauma, and bilateral chylothorax, secondary to tuberculosis, is an extremely rare cause, as observed in the present case.

She came from a nonendemic zone of filariasis in Uttar Pradesh. The resting pulse rate was 92/min and blood pressure was 112/74 mmHg. There was no history of contact with a tuberculosis patient. Her physical examination revealed hard, mobile lymph nodes of size 2 × 2 cm approximately, present bilaterally in the cervical region, and pallor. On chest examination, there was stony dull note localized to the bilateral infrascapular, lower axilla. Rest of the systems were within normal limits.</p><p>Her blood examination revealed anemia, and hypoalbuminemia but normal total and differential leukocyte counts. Her chest x-ray revealed bilateral pleural effusion [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F0001">Figure 1</xref>]. The pleural fluid was aspirated (about 2.0 l from left and 1.2 l from right) on both sides that revealed a milky white fluid. Then we thought about the chylothorax. Clearing of the pleural fluid by adding ethyl-ether into it leads to the exclusion of pseudochylothorax. The pleural fluid of both sides was sent for examination that revealed, for the right side, protein 4.2 g%, sugar 44 mg%, and total leukocyte count 3400 cells/mm<sup>3</sup>; differential leukocyte count was neutrophils 20, lymphocytes 80, pleural fluid triglyceride 535 mg%, and pleural fluid cholesterol 24.8 mg%; pleural fluid of the left side revealed protein 4.0 g%, sugar 40 mg%, and total leukocyte count 3280 cells/mm<sup>3</sup>; differential leukocyte count was neutrophils 34, lymphocytes 66, pleural fluid triglyceride 188.0 mg%, and pleural fluid cholesterol 24.0 mg% [<xref ref-type="table" rid="T0001">Table 1</xref>]. Serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol was 72.7 mg% and 71.9 mg%, respectively. The Ziehl-Neelsen stain of the pleural fluid was negative but <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> was isolated on the Lowenstein–Jensen culture. The pleural fluid culture for pyogenic organisms was sterile in nature on both sides. PPD showed no indurations. Her biopsy of the cervical lymph node revealed caseating granuloma, and the Bactec culture for <italic>M. tuberculosis</italic> was also positive in the cervical lymph node biopsy specimen.

In a historical review by Johsman,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT4">4</xref>] Bartolet is credited with the initial description of chylothorax in 1633, and Quincke reported the first case in 1875. Sassion <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT5">5</xref>] divided the causes of chylothorax into four major categories: trauma, tumor, idiopathic, and miscellaneous.</p><p>Trauma is the leading cause of chylothorax. This trauma is usually a cardiovascular, pulmonary, or esophageal surgical procedure.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT6">6</xref>]</p><p>Another leading cause of chylothorax is malignancy. The most common malignancy to cause chylothorax is a lymphoma,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT7">7</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT8">8</xref>] followed by bronchogenic carcinoma,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT9">9</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT15">15</xref>] and rarely leukemia.

Most cases of idiopathic chylothorax in adults are probably due to minor trauma,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT19">19</xref>] such as coughing or hiccupping after the ingestion of fatty meals.</p><p>The fourth category of chylothorax is the miscellaneous category and causes are thrombosis of superior vena cava or subclavian vein,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT20">20</xref>] cirrhosis,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT21">21</xref>] lymphangioleiomyomatosis,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT22">22</xref>] Gorham’s syndrome,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT23">23</xref>] Kaposi sarcoma,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT24">24</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT25">25</xref>] Castleman disease,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT26">26</xref>] filirasis and familian lymphedema, sarcoidosis, radiation-induced mediastinal fibrosis, and hypothyroidism.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT27">27</xref>]</p><p>Tuberculosis is described as a possible cause of chylous effusion,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT28">28</xref>] but only a single case, described by Brandt in 1917,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT29">29</xref>] appears to have been recorded.

Symptoms of chylothorax mostly depend upon the amount of fluid in the pleural cavity.</p><p>The exact pathogenesis for the development of chylothorax secondary to tuberculosis remains controversial. Fraser <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT35">35</xref>] and Yunis <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT36">36</xref>] eported that the enlarged lumber and iliac group of lymph nodes produced obstruction of the cisterna chyli and thoracic duct, as a result of which there was dilatation of the lumbar channels; this was followed by the opening up of collateral anastomoses, many lymphaticovenous anastomoses existing between the thoracic duct system and the azygos, intercostal, and lumbar veins. The increased pressure in the system resulted in the transudation of chyle into the pleural space. Grobbelaar <italic>et al</italic>. reported that the possible explanation for the development of a chylothorax in our patients is the obstruction of the thoracic duct by tuberculous lymphadenopathy with subsequent increase in pressure in the surrounding lymphatic system and leaking of chyle into the pleural space.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT31">31</xref>]</p><p>Best way to establish the diagnosis of chylothorax is to determine the concentration of triglycerides in the pleural fluid. The triglyceride concentration greater than 110 mg/dl (in our case it was 289.3 mg/dl), a ratio of pleural fluid to serum triglycerides of greater than 1.0 (in our case it was 3.77), and a ratio of pleural fluid to serum cholesterol of less than 1.0 (in our case it was 0.344) usually confirm chylothorax. Chylothorax will be excluded if the pleural fluid triglyceride concentration is less than 50 mg/dl. However, in the case of levels from 50 to 110 mg/dl, a lipoprotein analysis of the pleural fluid should be performed, and the demonstration of chylomicrons in the fluid confirms the diagnosis of chylothorax [<xref ref-type="table" rid="T0002">Table 2</xref>].[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT37">37</xref>]</p><table-wrap id="T0002" position="float"><label>Table 2</label><caption><p>Differential points of chylothorax, pseudochylothorax, and empyema, and parental nutrition entering the pleural space via the subclavian line</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Parameter</th><th align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Chylothorax</th><th align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Pseudochylothorax</th><th align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Empyema thoracis</th><th align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Parental nutrition entering the pleural space via the subclavian line</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Definition</td><td align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Presence of chyle in the pleural cavity;
