Chyloperitoneum, also called chylous ascites, is a rarely reported complication of abdominal surgery. In most cases, the diagnosis and treatment is not difficult. The characteristic milky colored odorless fluid is easily detected by drainage or aspiration. With the help of diagnostic radiology and laboratory tests, it has become easier to detect the chyloperitoneum. Chyloperitoneum subsides spontaneously or responds well to medical treatment. Death from chyloperitoneum is extremely rare. However, 3 cases of medically intractable chyloperitoneum were encountered at our hospital after curative surgery for gastrointestinal malignancies (two colorectal cancers and one gastric cancer). Herein, the authors report these case and discuss their treatments.

The authors report a case of chylous ascites in a two month old boy with massive ascites. He was managed with repeated therapeutic paracentesis and skimmed milk feeding. A marked improvement was resulted in clinical symptoms and laboratory findings at the time of discharge to be followed-up at the outpatient service. A brief review of literatures is included

Chylous ascites is a rare complication following treatment for gynecologic malignancies. Conservative management is usually effective for the treatment of postoperative chylous ascites. If conservative management fails, surgical management should be considered. This is the first domestic case reported in which retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for primary fallopian tubal cancer resulted in persistent chylous ascites. The patient was treated with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and a medium-chain triglyceride diet for about 8 weeks. So we present the case with a brief review of literature.

A case of chylothorax and chylous ascites in a 10-year-old female patient who was admitted to the department of pediatrics because of abdominal distension, generalized edema and anorexia for 2 months, was described. Clinical study and review of literature were presented briefly.

Chylous ascites is a disorder caused by various diseases and conditions that interfere with the abdominal or retroperitoneal lymphatics. There are several gynecologic reports on chylous ascites with radiation therapy and para-aortic lymph node dissection. However, the report of chylous ascites caused by performing only pelvic lymph node dissection was extremely rare. In most cases after surgical trauma, it is resolved after dietary managements but it may be associated with serious nutritional and immunologic consequences due to the constant loss of protein and lymphocytes. The authors experienced a 42-year-old woman with cervical cancer Ib1 who presented with chylous ascites after a radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection. She was successfully managed by fasting and low fat diet. We report this case of chylous ascites following pelvic lymph node dissection with a brief review of literature.
