| Core Tip |
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder that typically presents as protein-losing enteropathy, diarrhea, and limb edema. Here we analyzed the endoscopic presentation, post-lymphographic computed tomography findings, and pathological features of 123 patients with PIL. We classified PIL into four categories - nodular, granular, vesicle, and edema types, proposed the theory of nodular and vesicle types domestically through observation, and made breakthroughs in overcoming the issue of inaccurate diagnosis based on a few independent early-stage case reports. |
