title: Successful management of a bilateral diaphragmatic lymphangioma.
abstract: A 5-year-old boy developed two episodes of massive chylothorax due to a huge bilateral diaphragmatic lymphangioma. Two episodes of chylothorax were well controlled only after parenternal octreotide. The lymphangioma showed more than 90% shrinkage after intralesional sclerotherapy with bleomycin.
