Chylothorax complicating a thoracic aortic aneurysm.
Chylothorax is an uncommon condition, usually associated with advanced malignant disease or trauma to the thoracic duct. Idiopathic chylothorax and other diverse causes have been anecdotally reported. We describe a rare case of chylothorax, developing as a result of damage to the thoracic duct by a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Tetracycline pleurodesis was successful in controlling the chylous effusion.

Chylothorax: a complication of the nephrotic syndrome.
A 50-yr-old man with the nephrotic syndrome developed a chylothorax that was shown to be due to transdiaphragmatic movement of chylous ascites. Because a significant number of patients with nephrotic syndrome have been reported to have chylous ascites, the possibility that chylothorax is due to movement of chylous ascites into the pleural space should be considered prior to surgical intervention directed toward repair of the thoracic duct.

Pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis associated with tuberous sclerosis. Treatment with tamoxifen and tetracycline-pleurodesis.
A 44-year-old woman was seen with the clinical and histologic picture of lymphangiomyomatosis syndrome. She also had dermatologic and neurologic stigmata of tuberous sclerosis. After the development of a recurring chylothorax, she had a downhill course unresponsive to dietary, bronchodilator, corticosteroid and progesterone therapy. In an open lung specimen, the search for steroid receptor for estrogen was positive. The discovery in this case of an estrogen receptor represents important evidence for establishing an association between tuberous sclerosis and lymphangiomyomatosis. Tamoxifen therapy and tetracycline pleurodesis were successful in stopping the progressive course and controlling the chylothorax.
