Department of Thoracic Surgery, University of Freiburg, FRG.

We present a female patient in whom after an 8-year history of recurrent bilateral pleural effusions, a benign lymphangioma of the thoracic duct was diagnosed and successfully treated by ligation of the duct, resection of the tumour and simultaneous decortication of the right pleural space and lung. This observation supports surgical intervention in this condition even in patients of advanced age.
