Recurrent Left-Sided Pleural Effusions in a Patient With Chronic Lymphedema.

Chronic lymphedema can lead to several long-term complications. The causes of lymphedema can be primary, due to a genetic source, or secondary to procedures, trauma, or other conditions. Primary hereditary lymphedema, as in the case of Milroy's disease, is rare. Because of the condition's rarity, case reports mostly involve presentations to monitor for. Here we document a case of Milroy's disease in a 70-year-old woman with recurrent left lung effusions.
