RESUMO
Spontaneous chylothorax, an uncommon manifestation of pulmonary disease, has been described in association with infectious and inflammatory conditions involving the chest, thoracic trauma, and thoracic neoplasms. Isolated chylothorax is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis and is usually associated with the presence of mediastinal and hilar adenopathy causing obstruction of the thoracic duct. We report a case of recurrent spontaneous chylothorax in a patient with parenchymal sarcoidosis without hilar or mediastinal adenopathy.

Hyperuricemia and gout are found in high percentages of the Pacific Island population. As local clinicians and radiologists are more likely to have patients with either the diagnosis or suspicion of gout, a pictorial review of the common radiographic manifestations is presented especially for their information.
