Chylous ascites occurs due to processes that elevate pressures within or obstruct the lymphatics in the retroperitoneum. In cirrhosis, spontaneous chylous ascites can occur but is uncommon. We describe a case of a 74-year-old man with cirrhosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis who presented with worsening abdominal distension and chylous ascites on paracentesis; an infiltrating retroperitoneal lymphoma was subsequently detected on computed tomography imaging.
