Abstract
The authors report a case of intestinal lymphangiectasia that was clearly demonstrated during abdominal lymphoscintigraphy using Tc-99m Sb colloid. Although lymphoscintigraphy has been used in many different clinical situations, this is, to our knowledge, the first scintigraphic description of this disease. Clinical and pathologic presentations of intestinal lymphangiectasia are briefly reviewed. Some possible approaches to the confirmation of the presence of a protein-losing gastroenteropathy are mentioned.
