The diagnosis was based on a chest X-ray (Fig. 1A) and a positive Mantoux test.  A chest X-ray at this point revealed a large right-sided pleural effusion (Fig. 1B). One month later, he showed marked clinical improvement, with almost complete radiological resolution of the chylothorax, and reduced hilar lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1C).
