ABSTRACT

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia in an uncommon pathology caused by malformation of the intestinal lymphatic ducts. It is usually diagnosed before 3 years of age, but may appear in the adult population. The most frequent symptoms are the presence of anasarca and abdominal pain accompanied by malnutrition. The treatment is symptomatic and is based on the dietary substitution of long chain triglycerides by medium chain triglycerides with increased protein intake. This paper reports the case of a female patient of 22 years of age who presents clinical, imaging and anatomopathological manifestations that allow the diagnosis of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia, an extremely rare case, especially at this age.
