title: [Chylothorax in liver cirrhosis: a case report].
abstract: In a patient with decompensated liver cirrhosis, ascites and hydrothorax on the right side, a chylous transformation of the peritoneal and pleural effusions was seen. This case prompts deliberations on the spontaneous chylothorax in a rather rare disease pattern, in respect of its connection with the abdomen and especially with the cirrhosis of the liver.
