Abstract
- The term cutaneous chylous reflux refers to the back flow of chyle from its normal route and the discharge of chyle from the skin. Primary chylous reflux suggests the absence of an apparent etiology and may be due to malformations of mesenteric lymphatics. On the other hand, secondary chylous reflux is the result from irradiation, neoplasm, trauma and infection with filariasis. Here we report a case of primary cutaneous chylous reflux that has a unique clinical feature.
