- Abstract
- Chylopericardium is a particularly rare clinical entity, generally related to thoracic and cardiac surgery, chest trauma, mediastinal tumor, mediastinal radiation, thrombosis of the subclavian vein, congenital lymphangiomatosis and large granular lymphocytosis. Unlike chylopericardium, primary chylopericardium is more rare disorder and should be diagnosed after exclusion of the known causes.
We present a case of a 51-year-old male who was discovered to have a primary chylopericardium confirmed by an echocardiography & fluid analysis by pericardiocentesis. Primary chylopericardium was managed successfully with pericardiocentesis and drainage. We present the case with a review of literature.(Korean J Med 69:S824-S829, 2005)
