, specific treatments including somatostatin, octreotide, sirolimus, and pleuroperitoneal shunt.( 7 ) Conservative treatment has an approximately 50 to 80 percent success rate in postoperative chylothorax, with higher success rates reported in patients[jtraumainj.org]
This treatment results in resolution of the chylothorax in 36-61% of cases [4,5]. In cases of high flow output chylothorax or failure of conservative treatment, reoperation is indicated as the next step.[austinpublishinggroup.com]
Thoracic duct cysts are totally benign and carry an excellent prognosis after adequate surgical excision. No cases of malignant transformation have been reported so far ( 11 ).[atm.amegroups.com]

The prognosis in non-traumatic chylothorax is dependent on the underlying disease process and is worse in malignancy related chylothorax.[ispub.com]
The clinical features of chylothorax depend on the rate of chyle accumulation in the pleural space as well as the concomitant effect of the etiology.[ispub.com]
Thoracic surgeries including esophagectomy or pulmonary resection are the usual etiologies, representing 80% of traumatic causes.( 2 ) Nonsurgical traumatic chylothorax can complicate central venous catheterization, pacemaker implantation, and chest trauma[jtraumainj.org]
We reviewed the literatures to find out the etiology, and we get done the contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT-chest), venous Doppler of lower limb and deep neck veins and echocardiography.[jacpjournal.org]
Due to mass effects or the direct invasion of disease into lymphatic vessels, thoracic malignancies such as neuroblastoma and lymphomas are the original etiology of some chylothoraces 1 .[thoracic.org]
