- Abstract
There are conditions that result in obstruction or injury of the lymphatic system leading to filtration of the lymph to the underlying cavities, resulting in filling of the peritoneal space, thus conditioning the appearance of chylous ascites (CA). The main causes in adult patients are surgical injuries, obstruction, or extrinsic compression of the lymphatic system, infection, cirrhosis, inflammatory diseases and benign or malignant tumors. There are several diagnostic methods such as paracentesis, ascitic fluid cytology, peritoneal biopsy, laparoscopy, as well as imaging studies to complement the diagnosis.
