Chylous pneumonia is a rare respiratory disease. The main clinical manifestation is coughing up chylous sputum with a variety of causes which can be clarified by lymphangiography. The lack of understanding of the disease, and infrequent lymphangiography have led to a high rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Here, we reported a case of bronchial lymphatic fistula caused by lymphatic abnormality that led to the diagnosis and treatment of chylous pneumonia, with the aim of improving clinicians' understanding of this disease.
