Abstract:
Primary lymphangiomyomatosis is a benign tumour of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes, clinically manifested by chylous ascites. This disease is usually progressive and unresponsive to surgery, chemotherapy or irradiation. A case of a 36-year-old lady with chylous ascites due to underlying primary lymphangiomyomatosis is reported.
