We report a case of bilateral chylothorax following neck massage. The patient
presented with the left supraclavicular mass and bilateral pleural effusions.
Both fluids obtained from thoracentesis revealed chylous and a high
triglycerides content. The effusions decreased after conservative treatment.
Bilateral chylothorax caused by neck massage has, to our knowledge, not
previously been reported in literature. We concluded that physicians and
massagists should remember this serious complication.
