Abstract
Spontaneous chylothorax, an uncommon manifestation of pulmonary disease, has been described in association with infectious and inflammatory conditions involving the chest, thoracic trauma, and thoracic neoplasms. Isolated chylothorax is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis and is usually associated with the presence of mediastinal and hilar adenopathy causing obstruction of the thoracic duct. We report a case of recurrent spontaneous chylothorax in a patient with parenchymal sarcoidosis without hilar or mediastinal adenopathy.
