    Author: Kamat MM, Bahal NK, Prabhu SR, Pai MV.
    Journal: J Postgrad Med; 1992; 38(4):206-7. PubMed ID: 1307599.
    Abstract:
    A case of multiple chylous cysts of the abdomen in a 35 years old female is presented here. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy revealed few intestinal adhesions along with multiple small cysts containing blood stained gelatinous material in the abdominal cavity, some of which were excised alongwith lymph nodes. The abdomen was closed after a saline peritoneal lavage. Chylous nature of the cysts was confirmed on histopathology. The post-operative course was asymptomatic.
