Abstract

Association of chylothorax and retrosternal goiter is very rare. In this article, we report a 49-year-old male patient having a retrosternal goiter and pleural effusion. The biochemical analysis of the effusion was consistent with chylothorax. The goiter was resected with a transcervical approach followed by partial sternotomy. Chylothorax disappeared after excision of the lesion. Large retrosternal goiters may cause chylous pleural effusions and be managed by excision of the compressing lesions.

Özet

Şilotoraks ve retrosternal guatr birlikteliği çok nadirdir. Bu yazıda, retrosternal guatr ve plevral effüzyonu olan 49 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Efüzyonun biyokimyasal analizi şilotoraks ile uyumlu idi. Guatr transservikal yaklaşımı takiben parsiyel sternotomi ile rezeke edildi. Şilotoraks, lezyonun çıkarılmasını takiben kayboldu. Büyük retrosternal guatrlar şilöz plevral efüzyonlara neden olabilir ve bası yapan lezyonların çıkarılması ile tedavi edilebilir.
