Chylopericardum is particularly uncommon and usually secondary to intrathoracic operation, chest trauma, primary or metastatic tumors, chronic inflammation and congenital lymphatic anomaly which cause obstruction of the lymphatic drainage. However, primary chylopericardium unrelated to trauma or chylothorax is a rare condition and its etiology remains obscure in most cases. We have experienced a 69-year-old female patient with primary chylopericardium who was treated with repeated pericardiocentesis, pericardiectromy, and thoracic duct ligation. So we report a case of primary chylopericardium with a review of literature.
