INTRODUCTION Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease affecting women of child-bearing age. Chylothorax is a well-recognized complication yet optimal management has not been well defined. In this report, we describe the presentation and management of a patient with refractory chylothorax secondary to LAM. CASE REPORT A 40-year-old lady was referred to the pleural clinic with a new unilateral effusion, from which 1.2 L of milky fluid was aspirated (Table 1, Figure 1A).
