    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Chyluria, characterized by lipid-rich urine, is often caused by lymphatic system abnormalities.
    • A rare case of chyluria in a young adult female is presented, highlighting the diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • The patient presented with the chief complaint of "white urine."
    • Physical examination and diagnostic studies were performed, with a focus on lymphangiography.
    • Review of pertinent medical history was conducted.

    Findings:

    • Lymphangiography revealed a fistula, a key diagnostic finding in chyluria.
    • The literature review focused on fistula lateralization, thoracic duct obstruction, and therapeutic approaches.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering lymphatic fistulas in patients with chyluria.
    • Diagnostic lymphangiography is a valuable tool for identifying the source of chyluria.
    • Understanding fistula characteristics is crucial for effective treatment planning.
