Finally, there can be a lymphatic pleural effusion, called a chylothorax.

最后，可能会形成淋巴性胸腔积液，称作乳糜胸。

In a chylothorax, the thoracic duct is disrupted, and lymphatic fluid accumulates in the pleural space.

乳糜胸是由于胸导管破裂导致淋巴液积聚于胸膜腔。

The most common cause of chylothorax is when the thoracic duct accidently gets damaged during a thoracic surgery, but it can also be caused by tumors in the mediastinum that press up against the thoracic duct and compress it shut.

乳糜胸的常见病因是胸部手术中胸导管意外损伤，也可能是纵膈肿瘤压迫胸导管使其闭合。
