Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The thoracic duct is a lymphatic channel that runs from the abdomen through the mediastinum to enter the left subclavian vein. Disruption of the thoracic duct anywhere along its course can cause leakage of chyle into the mediastinum, which then may rupture into the pleural space and cause a chylothorax.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In many parts of the world, any lymphocyte-predominant exudative effusion is considered tu-berculosis until proved otherwise.
