Resumo:Oleothorax was largely used from 1930 to 1950 in the treatment of pulmonary tubercu­losis (PBT). Although it has been discontinued since the 1950's, mainly because of the suc­cess of chemotherapy and the thoracic sur­gery, complications have appeared many ye­ars later. The autbors report the case report of an 80 years old man, with a previous his­tory of PTB, treated at the age 52 with oleothorax, admitted to study a mass in tbe right supraclavicular region. Computorised axial tomograpby revealed a pleurocutaneous fís­tula. Aspiration revealed an oily content.
