Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia in a 23-month- old girl.

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare protein-losing gastroenteropathy which is defined as dilation of existing mucosal, submucosal, or subserosal lymphatics within the gastrointestinal tract. That causes loss of lymph fluid into the gastrointestinal tract, leading to the development of hypoproteinemia, edema, lymphocytopenia, hypogammaglobinemia, and immunologic anomalies. It is usually diagnosed in patients younger than 3 years old and is rarely first diagnosed in adulthood.
