[CONGENITAL CHYLOUS ASCITES: A CASE REPORT].

Abstract

Congenital chylous ascites is a rare polietiologic entity, requiring close study of the infant's organism by visualization methods in order to diagnose the bening or malignant underlying pathology. In the article is given a report on case of congenital chylous ascites in infant, caused by lymphangioma in the peritoneal cavity. Atypical clinic and the lack of diagnostic standards led to the later detection of the ascite's origin.
