RESUMO
Postoperative chylothorax is an unusual complication following thoracic surgical procedures. Treatment of this complication remains controversial. The authors present a case of left sided chylothorax following a left pneumonectomy which was successfully treated in a conservative manner. The rationale for conservative treatment in this case as well as a review of the literature are provided.
