We discuss the yellow nails syndrome which is constituted by yellow nails, pleural effusion and lymphedema. After reviewing the literature, it can be said that nail disorders are an early and constant sign, and its absence could put in doubt the diagnosis of this syndrome. The most frequent pleuro-pulmonary disorder is the pleural effusion, chylous or exudative type. It is believed that the origin of this disease could be a congenital hypoplasia of the lymphatic vessels. Lymphography and the morphologic study performed show a diminution in the number and size of the lymphatics vessels (lymphedema) which are hypoplastic, varicosities and tortuous dilations are sometimes observed.
