Abstract
La "Ascitis Quilosa o Quiloperitoneo", es una entidad clínica rara con incidencia baja y de difícil diagnóstico, poco conocida alrededor del mundo sobre todo en la comunidad quirúrgica, misma que fue descrita por primera vez en 1691. El objetivo del presente artículo es exponer un caso de Ascitis Quilosa o Quiloperitoneo, diagnosticado y tratado en el Centro de Especialidades Clínico - Quirúrgicas Jesús Obrero, en un paciente masculino de 36 años; tras la revisión de antecedentes quirúrgicos, sintomatología, semiología, estudios imagenológicos, laboratoriales, y la revisión sistemática de la literatura; se llegó al diagnóstico final. Además se enfocara no solo conocimientos históricos, etiológicos y fisiopatológicos, sino medios diagnósticos y planes terapéuticos estandarizados conservadores, que implica tomar en cuenta en esta patología una vez diagnosticada; siendo esta una manera de acumular experiencia en el adecuado manejo y a su vez aportar a la literatura médica nacional en el levantamiento epidemiológico y casuístico de esta variedad rara y poco frecuente patología abdominal.
The "Chilosa Ascites or Quiloperitoneo", is a rare clinical entity with low incidence and difficult to diagnose, little known around the world especially in the surgical community, which was first described in 1691. The objective of this article is to expose a case of Chilosa Ascites or Quiloperitoneo, diagnosed and treated at the Center for Clinical Specialties - Surgical Jesus Obrero, in a male patient of 36 years; after reviewing surgical backgrounds, symptomatology, semiology, imaging, laboratorial studies, and systematic review of literature; the final diagnosis was reached. In addition, it will focus not only historical, etiological and pathophysiological knowledge, but also conservative diagnostic means and standardized therapeutic plans, which involves taking into account this pathology once diagnosed; this being a way to accumulate experience in the proper management and in turn contribute to the national medical literature in the epidemiological and casuistic uprising of this rare and rare abdominal pathology variety.
