ABSTRACT
Chylous ascites is the accumulation of lipid-rich lymph in the peritoneal cavity due to rupture or obstruction of the abdominal lymph ducts. Although it is rare, greater probability is described for its onset after abdominal traumas. The case is presented of a 46-year-old male patient who suffers from a thorax-abdomen knife wound and therefore required emergency surgical treatment. After several surgeries, the presence of whitish abdominal liquid was detected, with elevated triglycerides. Chylous ascites was confirmed, which was reabsorbed in 45 days with parenteral nutrition and octreotide(AU)
