    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Leukorrhea is a common gynecological condition, typically presenting as vaginal discharge.
    • Chylous discharge, characterized by milky white fluid rich in lymph lipids, is an exceptionally rare cause of leukorrhea.

    Observation:

    • This study focuses on a rare case of leukorrhea caused by chylous fluid.
    • Diagnostic criteria involve verifying the chylous nature and uterine origin of the discharge.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis is confirmed through lymphangiography, revealing dilated pelvic lymphatics with uterine reflux.
    • This imaging technique visualizes abnormal lymphatic connections contributing to the condition.

    Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of chylous leukorrhea is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Surgical excision of incompetent lymphatic channels is identified as the primary therapeutic approach.
  • Understanding lymphatic abnormalities is key to treating this unusual gynecological presentation.
