Background. Chylopericardium is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the pericardial cavity. It can be idiopathic or secondary to trauma, cardiothoracic surgery, neoplasm, radiation, tuberculosis, lymphatic duct dysfunction, thrombosis, or other causes. We present a case of chylopericardium due to subclavian vein thrombosis in a patient with protein S deficiency. Clinical Case. A 48-year-old man with a history of protein S deficiency presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath and a productive cough. CT of the chest showed pulmonary emboli, moderate pericardial effusion, and a large thrombus of the superior vena cava, brachiocephalic vein, and subclavian veins. He developed echocardiographic evidence of cardiac tamponade so he underwent pericardiocentesis with drainage of milky-appearing fluid. Analysis of the fluid showed elevated triglycerides consistent with chylopericardium. The pericardial effusion reaccumulated, likely secondary to lymphatic duct obstruction due to his subclavian vein thrombus. Catheter-assisted thrombolysis was performed with resolution of the patient’s effusion and symptoms. Conclusion. Chylopericardium is a rare but important complication of subclavian vein thrombosis. Management is typically with surgical intervention, although our case represents successful treatment with catheter-assisted thrombolysis.

AbstractA chylothorax results when the lymphatic duct becomes disrupted. It is an uncommon and poorly described complication of both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of any histological type and grade. A 62-year-old female presented with dyspnea on exertion and dry cough for 15 days. Chest radiograph showed left-sided effusion. Pleural fluid reports were suggestive of chylothorax. Fluid was drained and CT thorax was performed which revealed multiple supra- and infradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy. Left supraclavicular lymph node biopsy revealed chronic inflammation. Immunohistochemistry of the same sample was reported as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of follicular type grade I/III (2008). Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed hypermetabolic areas in supra- and infradiaphragmatic lymph nodes and also in multiple bones (with surrounding regions encasement). Patient has received two cycles of chemotherapy with Bendamustine and Rituximab. She is on regular follow-up with the oncologist and doing fine.

Abstract Introduction Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in infancy. It is responsible for around 15% of all oncological deaths during childhood. Due to its retroperitoneal location, neuroblastoma is invasively growing directly in and around the lymphatic duct. Consecutively, lymphatic leakage (LL) after surgery for neuroblastoma is a known complication. The purpose of this study is the investigation of frequency and impact of this complication. Material and Methods Between February 2003 and December 2016, 204 patients with neuroblastoma received surgical treatment in our department. A retrospective analysis for macroscopical extent of resection, duration of drainage postsurgery, maximum amount of fluid drained in 24 hours, MYCN amplification status, therapeutic options for LL, follow-up status, and overall survival was performed. Results A total of 40% of patients (82/204) showed LL to some extent. In patients with MYCN amplification, LL was seen significantly more often than in patients without MYCN amplification status (p = 0.019). LL was also significantly correlated with extent of surgery (p = 0.005). Follow-up status and overall survival were significantly inversely associated with LL (p = 0.004 and p = 0.0001). LL was self-limiting in all cases. There was a trend toward shorter duration of LL if either no special therapy was chosen or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was administered (p = 0.0603). Conclusion We show that LL in neuroblastoma is a common complication of tumor resection and occurring more often than anticipated. Since, in our study cohort, all cases of LL were self-limiting, we question the indication for invasive therapy besides supporting measures.

Abstract Abstract 4738 Background and Aims: We recently reported that human interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) stimulates bone-marrow stromal myofibroblasts to express a hematopoietic stem cell marker, CD34 (16th EHA, and 53rdASH meeting). To characterize precisely the effects of IL-1 beta to the stromal cells, adult human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) were cultured with IL-1 beta, and the morphological changes and molecular expressions were observed. Materials and Methods: HDF were purchased, and cultured in knockout DMEM medium with 15% KSR with or without recombinant human IL-1 beta for 3 weeks. The morphological changes and the expression of specific hematopoiesis-related genes were analyzed time-dependently. The concentration of hematopoietic growth factors in the culturing supernatants was also measured. Results: When HDF were cultured with human IL-1 beta for 3 weeks, the cellular morphology changed to the filamentous appearance. RT-PCR analyses revealed that cells expressed Prox-1, a master molecule for lymphatic duct neogenesis, and also vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) type-3. Smad7 and PAI1 were also expressed; however, LYVE1, a marker for lymphatic vascular endothelial cell, was not induced. VEGF-C production was also demonstrated at RNA and protein levels, and VEGF-C and VEGFR type-3 system played an important role in morphological changes and cell-proliferation. Discussion: We previously reported that when HDF were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium with IL-1 beta and EPO, hematopoietic markers were induced. When HDF were cultured in knockout DMEM, a condition for immature cell-growth at ES cell levels, and IL-1 beta, lymphatic duct neogenesis-related genes were activated, and HDF converted their morphology without an introduction of any genes externally. We are now making clear the precise action of IL-1 beta to HDF using microarray analysis. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
