Abstract

Chylothorax is a rare complication of both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We describe a patient with a diagnosis of low grade NHL who had a persistent chylothorax unresponsive to chemotherapy, who had been diagnosed with low grade NHL. The condition rapidly resolved following mediastinal radiotherapy and did not recur despite the subsequent relapse of the NHL.
