Abstract

Introduction: Chylous effusions are rare and their etiologies are multiple and diverse. Chylothorax is the most common; however, chylopericardium is exceptional. The aim of this work is to report the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of Hodgkin lymphoma revealed by chylopericardium and bilateral chylothorax with review of the literature. Case presentation: It’s about a 34 years old man, with no particular pathological history, admitted in emergency, with a cardiac tamponade associated with a bilateral pleural effusion. The patient underwent a subxiphoid pericardiostomy and pleural drainage, removing milky pericardial (800cc) and pleural (1850cc) fluid. Fluid analysis confirmed a chylous effusion with no malignant cells. The patient was started on a low dietary fat diet which allowed a decrease in the chyle output after 10 days. A mediastinal mass biopsy was performed, through an anterior right mediastinotomy, revealing a Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient was referred to an Oncology center and underwent a full course of chemotherapy. The patient’s response to chemotherapy was favorable with a good clinical outcome and complete regression of the superior vena cava syndrome, the edema and the respiratory distress. Conclusion: It’s important to keep in mind some uncommon presentations of mediastinal tumors in general, and specifically Hodgkin Lymphoma; as well as the role of the 3 cornerstones (low-fat diet, surgery, and treatment of the underlying cause) in the management of this condition.
