Abstract
A 10.5-year-old domestic shorthair presented with a history of progressive inappetence, lethargy and elevated respiratory rate. Clinical and diagnostic findings confirmed the presence of a chylothorax with evidence of a mass or collapsed lung within the right cranial thorax. Computed tomography, sternotomy and histopathology confirmed the presence of a right middle lung lobe torsion associated with a chylothorax. The torsion was successfully managed with surgical removal of the affected lung lobe, and the patient continues to be asymptomatic 6 months postoperatively.
