title: [Chylothorax as presenting form of a gastric adenocarcinoma].
abstract: Malignancies other than lymphoma can in rare instances induce the development of chylothorax. A patient with this unusual type of pleural effusion is described herein. The need to rule out a gastric neoplasm when confronted with a case of chylothorax with no obvious cause is stressed.
