Chylothorax is a lymphatic chylous pleural effusion typically associated with traumatic (iatrogenic, non-iatrogenic) and non-traumatic (infections, malignancy, lymphatic disorders) aetiologies. Drug-induced chylothorax is uncommon and mostly reported in association with tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

Background: Dasatinib is an effective 2 generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of newly diagnosed or intolerant to imatinib chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The most common adverse effects of dasatinib include gastrointestinal upset, pancytopenia, skin rash, diarrhea and fluid retention. Pleural effusion (PE), which occurs in almost 15-35% of patients, is the most frequent manifestation of fluid retention.

Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of BCR-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Although fluid retention is a common adverse event associated with dasatinib, chylothorax is exceptionally rare. The pathological mechanism, clinical manifestation and management of dasatinib-induced chylothorax are completely unclear.
