Abstract
A 65-year-old man sequentially developed a chylous neck fistula, left- sided chylothorax, and chylous ascites after a transhiatal total esoph agectomy for adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus. The pathophysiolo gy of this unusual accumulation of chyle in three separate anatomic co mpartments is examined.
