Abstract

We have described the occurrence of isolated chylopericardium associated with lymphocytic lymphoma in remission. The effusion may have been related to previous mediastinal lymphoma. Further, pericardial and mediastinal exploration for pericardial effusion represents appropriate treatment of patients with malignancies in whom preliminary studies fail to demonstrate conclusive evidence of residual neoplasm.
