摘要
Intestinal lymphangiectasia （IL） is a rare disorder characterized by protein-losing enteropathy and fat malabsorption. The underlying cause of this disorder has been revealed to be impaired intestinal lymphatic drainage. According to the etiologies, IL can be classified into primary （idiopathic） form and secondary form.Diagnosis of primary IL is usually established by characteristic endoscopic findings and biopsy of intestinal mucosa.
