Résumé

Classically, both chylothorax and pseudochylothorax present as a pleural effusion with a characteristic milky white appearance to the pleural fluid. Although both are rare causes of pleural effusion, they have distinct etiologies and clinical implications, and as a result require different management strategies. Pleural fluid analysis of cholesterol and triglyceride levels is key to differentiating the 2 entities from one another and then guide the clinician to determine the best next steps in evaluation and management.
