Abstract
When the chyle, the liquid that is formed from the connection of the body's lymphatic flows, leaks to the pleural space, chylothorax expression comes into existence. Traumatic types are due to penetrating wounds or iatrogenic during heavy thoracic oncology surgeries. To the best of our knowledge, we have reported the first case of left-sided chylothorax following an isolated stab wound in the fifth intercostal space of the same side treated by tube drainage and 'nil per os' dietary condition.
