Abstract

Intestinal lymphangiectasia (IL) is a rare disorder characterized by dilation and obstruction of the small bowel lymphatic ducts, resulting in malabsorptive diarrhea and edema. While the majority of IL is congenital and presents in infancy, secondary acquired IL rarely presents as a long-term sequela after abdominal or pelvic surgeries. We report an 18-year-old woman who underwent surgical resection of ovarian cancer with subsequent endoscopic and histologic evidence of duodenal IL. This case highlights the importance of increased endoscopic awareness for iatrogenic acquired IL in clinical practice.

18岁女性淋巴结切除及下腔静脉损伤后十二指肠获得性肠淋巴管扩张一例。

肠淋巴管扩张症（IL）是一种罕见的疾病，其特征是小肠淋巴管扩张和阻塞，导致吸收不良的腹泻和水肿。虽然大多数IL是先天性的，出现在婴儿期，继发性获得性IL很少出现在腹部或盆腔手术后的长期后遗症。我们报告了一名18岁的女性，她接受了手术切除的卵巢癌，随后的内镜和组织学证据显示十二指肠IL。这个病例强调了在临床实践中提高内镜对医源性获得性IL的认识的重要性。
