Chylothorax is often an enigma. Usually, iatrogenic, traumatic and neoplastic causes can be diagnosed with standard contrast CT scans. Other causes need lymphangiograms for definitive diagnoses.
In a patient with a high pre-test probability, a DOTA-PET can reliably suggest a diagnosis of well-differentiated NET/carcinoid.
