摘要
Intermittent left supraclavicular swelling is an uncommon and elusive condition that can lead to extensive diagnostic workups to determine the etiology and treatment. One potential cause is partial, intermittent, or complete thoracic duct occlusion (TDO). We report on a patient who presented with chronic, intermittent left supraclavicular swelling and abdominal pain that was relieved by thoracic duct angioplasty. Thoracic duct occlusion should be included in the differential diagnosis of left supraclavicular swelling. Lymphatic imaging can facilitate the diagnosis and allows for potential percutaneous treatment. Laryngoscope, 2023
