Chylothorax: a rare complication of metastatic prostatic carcinoma.
Chylothorax is an uncommon condition rarely seen in urological oncology and it is an extremely rare complication of prostatic carcinoma. Such a case is described in which successful palliative management with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy was used. Alert recognition of the process and aggressive therapy would appear to be the key to management.
