What is the most common condition that causes chylous ascites?
{{c1::Lymphoma}}
Extra
- 30% of all cases of chylous ascites among adults in the US
- Intra-abdominal malignancy can invade or externally compress retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels, leading to the obstruction of lymph flow into the thoracic duct
- This, in turn, leads to bilateral, nonpitting pedal edema (due to lymphedema), as well as dilation of subserosal lymphatic vessels with leakage of lymph into the peritoneal cavity
