We are reporting a 51-year-old male who presented with dry cough for the previous 7 months and dyspnea for the previous 4 months due to bilateral chylous effusion and that was associated with firm edema of the lower extremities, was waxing and waning since birth. Duplex ultrasound of the lower limbs showed patent blood vessels. Lymphoscintigraphy demonstrated aplasia of the lymphatics in both lower limbs. The patient was diagnosed as primary lymphedema or Nonne-Milroy syndrome after excluding other congenital causes of primary edema. He was treated by bilateral pleurodesis with tetracycline for his chylous effusion and no recurrence was observed after 1 year of follow-up. ER -
