ABSTRACT
A 72-year-old male presented with respiratory discomfort. A simple chest X-ray and abdominal computed tomography showed pleural effusion and multiple lymph node enlargement. The pleural effusion was determined by thoracentesis to be chylothorax. An inguinal lymph node biopsy showed peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Following three cycles of cyclophospamide, hydroxyl doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy, a partial response was observed. Chylothorax is an extremely rare complication of T-cell lymphoma. We present a case of peripheral T-cell lymphoma presenting with chylothorax. We suggest that clinicians should consider chylothorax when examining patients with lymphoma who present with atypical pleural effusion.
