Resumen

La ascitis quilosa consiste en el acúmulo de quilo en la cavidad abdominal. Su presentación postquirúrgica ocurre a consecuencia de una lesión inadvertida de la cisterna del quilo o una de sus principales aferentes lumbares. Se presenta habitualmente como un cuadro de distensión y dolor abdominales, o bien como salida de líquido lechoso a través de la herida quirúrgica o del drenaje abdominal. El diagnóstico se establece mediante análisis citoquímico del líquido y tinción con Sudán III, que muestra gotas de grasa (quilomicrones), leucocitos con predominio de linfocitos y una elevada concentración de triglicéridos. Presentamos un caso de ascitis quilosa postquirúrgica, tras nefrectomía radical y linfadenectomía retroperitoneal por cáncer de riñón, que se resolvió satisfactoriamente con medidas conservadoras: nutrición parenteral total y octreótide.

Abstract

Chylous ascites consists of the accumulation of chyle in the abdominal cavity. Postoperative presentation develops as a consecuence of unrecognized injury of cisterna chyli or one of its major lumbar tributaries. It usually present as abdominal distention and pain or drainage of milky fluid from surgical wound or abdominal drain. Diagnosis is established by cytochemical analysis of fluid and staining with Sudan III, that shows fat globules, leukocytes with lymphocytic predominance and a high triglyceride content. We present a case of postoperative chylous ascites following radical nephrectomy and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for renal cancer, which successfully respond to conservative measures: total parenteral nutrition and octreotide.
