Description

The spontaneous occurrence of a non-neoplastic or non-traumatic chylothorax in adult patients is a rare case. The case reported here hence is an example of the significance and value of lymphography for diagnostic evaluation and therapy selection in such cases. (orig./GDG)

Abstract (German)

Die Vorstellung eines entsprechenden Falles ist daher geeignet, die zentrale Bedeutung der Lymphographie fuer Diagnostik und Therapie relevanter Krankheitsfaelle zu unterstreichen. (orig./GDG)
