Abstract

Restrictive cardiomyophthy is an extremely rare cause of massive chylous ascites and chylothorax. We report a 56-year-old man patient who presented with chylous ascites and bilateral chylothorax; 12-lead electrocardiography and echocardiography revealed restrictive cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial biopsy disclosed amyloidosis.
