    AbstractKaposiform lymphangiomatosis is a generalized lymphatic disorder complicated by consumptive coagulopathy and pericardial and pleural effusions. We present the case of a 13-year-old female adolescent given a diagnosis of a large pleural effusion by point-of-care thoracic ultrasonography, which led to further evaluation and diagnosis of this rare disorder. We review the use of point-of-care thoracic ultrasonography for the diagnosis of pleural effusion.
