A patient with spontaneous chylothorax associated with a lymphogenous thymic cyst and multiple lymphangiomata of bone is reported and literature on the association of chylous effusion with mediastinal lymphangioma and lymphangiomata of bone reviewed. We offer further support for the concept that this syndrome represents a generalized abnormality of the lymphatic system.
