Article Synopsis
- Chylothorax is a rare complication following thoracoscopic sympathectomy, especially on the right side, but was observed in a case involving a 37-year-old woman who had surgery for axillary hyperhidrosis.
- Post-surgery, the patient experienced excessive drainage of milky fluid, which was confirmed as chylothorax through lab tests showing elevated triglyceride levels.
- An exploratory procedure revealed an anomalous thoracic duct on the right side, which was successfully treated, highlighting the importance of considering anatomical variations and potential complications in thoracic surgeries.
Background: Myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. These tumors generally affect the adrenal glands, with anomalous presentations being rare and with few cases described in the literature. Most myelolipomas are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, either through imaging tests or at autopsies.
