Lymphatic dysplasia syndrome with chylothorax: a case report

Abstract

Lymphedema occurs due to compromised lymph flow and is generally characterized with swelling on extremities. Primary lymphedema may either present at birth or symptoms may begin at puberty named as lymphedema praecox. Primary lymphedema is the most common form of lymphedema and is diagnosed by the exclusion of secondary causes. Lymphoscintigraphy may help to confirm the diagnosis. Lymphedema with the effusion of third spaces of the body such as pleura, pericardium and peritoneum is defined as lymphatic dysplasia syndrome. In this article, we present a rare case of lymphatic dysplasia syndrome with the edema of lower extremities and chylothorax.
