Int J Cardiol. 2003 Aug;90(2-3):341-3. doi: 10.1016/s0167-5273(02)00552-1.

Abstract

This paper describes a case of 65-year-old woman with primary chylopericardium. She received Tc-99m phytate lymphoscintigraphy after pericardial drainage and was managed with medium-chain triglycerides without surgical intervention. This was the first reported case of primary chylopericardium diagnosed with Tc-99m phytate lymphoscintigraphy.
