Abstract:

Spontaneous chylothorax could arise as a complication of Iymphoma. There are no reports on the frequency of it's occurrence. It is associated with a high mortality rate. This is mainly due to severe nutritional deficiencies and wasting. This case describes a patient with non-Hodgkins Iymphoma who developed recurrent bilateral chylothorax requiring repeated pleural aspirations and eventually talc pleurodesis which failed.

Pneumothorax-II

Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.
