    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Thoracic lymphangiomatosis is a rare congenital malformation of lymphatic vessels.
    • Recurrent chylothoraces and cor pulmonale can be debilitating complications.

    Observation:

    • A 33-year-old male presented with a 17-year history of recurrent chylothoraces and progressive cor pulmonale.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed a large thoracic neoplasm compressing the lungs and involving mediastinal structures and vertebrae.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed benign lymphatic channels lined by factor VIII-related antigen-positive endothelial cells.
    • The neoplasm extensively occupied the chest cavity, leading to significant pulmonary compression.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the extensive local impact and potential for severe cardiopulmonary compromise in thoracic lymphangiomatosis.
    • Understanding the behavior of such benign neoplasms is crucial for effective management and contrasts with prior reported cases.
