    A patient developed a chylous pseudocyst after aortic aneurysm surgery. This rare complication was successfully managed, highlighting effective treatment strategies for thoracic duct leaks.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta requires complex surgical repair with graft replacement.
    • Postoperative complications, such as chylothorax, can arise following thoracic aortic surgery.
    • Chylothorax, a rare complication, involves the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the pleural space.

    Observation:

    • A 59-year-old male patient developed chylothorax after descending thoracic aorta aneurysm resection and graft replacement.
    • The initial chylothorax was successfully managed non-surgically.
    • An expansile chest mass subsequently appeared on the left side.

    Findings:

    • The expansile chest mass was surgically removed and identified as a chylous pseudocyst.

  • Chylous pseudocysts represent a unique sequela of chylothorax, potentially forming after thoracic duct injury.
  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing delayed presentations of chylous collections.

    • Implications:

    • Effective non-surgical management of chylothorax is crucial in preventing further complications.
    • Surgical intervention may be necessary for managing chylous pseudocysts.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare thoracic surgical complications and their management.
