Abstract
The histologic properties of pleural adipose organs were studied in 14 newborns. These organs contain milky spots, in which lymphocytes, macrophages and plurivacuolated fat cells are present. The milky spots have a mesothelial covering, persist to the age of 9 months and seem to act as defence devices and a site of fluid exchange.Keywords
