  ABSTRACT: Bilothorax or Cholethorax is the accumulation of bilious effusion in the thorax. It is a rare condition in which bile passes into the pleural space from the abdominal cavity, necessitating urgent treatment. This article aims to present a case of bilothorax treated successfully in our institute and review the literature on this topic to better understand this medical problem and the best ways of dealing with it. We presented in this article a case of bilothorax after an attempt of biliary drainage in a known pancreatic cancer patient and the way we managed it. We concluded about the importance of the early recognition of this medical problem and the necessity of aggressive and early management to prevent further morbidities and mortality.
