[Primary chylopericardium with skeletal lymphoangiomatosis: a case report].
A 5-year-old girl admitted to our hospital complaining cardiomegaly due to pericardial fluid and punched-out area in the humerus. Analysis of pericardial fluid confirmed primary chylopericardium and the findings in the humerus suggested skeletal lymphoangiomatosis. Despite medical treatments, pericardial fluid didn't decrease. Therefore, she underwent ligation and resection of thoracic duct. She recovered uneventfully without reaccumulation of the pericardial effusion. In addition, skeletal survey resulted in lymangiomatosis.
