E Garcia Restoy1, F Bella Cueto, E Espejo Arenas, A Aloy Duch.   

Abstract

A 67-yr-old woman was admitted with dyspnoea, chest and neck pain and swelling of both supraclavicular fossae and the neck. Chest X-ray showed bilateral pleural effusions. Thoracocentesis yielded a milky fluid with a high triglyceride level. Four previously published cases had similar clinical manifestations. The pathophysiology is discussed.
