Core Tip	Exploring the intricate relationship between the intestinal lymphatic system and clinical outcomes, particularly in the context of intestinal lymphangiectasia, reveals crucial knowledge gaps that require attention. There is a broader implication of intestinal lymphatic dysfunction than is typically talked about. This article delves into the existing voids in our understanding, emphasizing the significance of future research to refine diagnostic approaches, establishing treatment guidelines, and uncovering novel therapeutic interventions for individuals affected by this complex condition. Bridging these knowledge gaps is essential to advancing patient care and improving outcomes in the realm of intestinal lymphatic disorders.
