description Chylothorax is a type of pleural effusion that results from the build up of chyle in the pleural space. Trauma and malignancies are its leading causes. Among malignancies, lymphomas cause the majority of chylothoraces. A few cases of chylothorax resulting from various solid malignancies have been reported in the literature but renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been rarely associated. Here, we report a rare case of a unilateral chylothorax associated with a newly diagnosed RCC.
