CHILOSA ASCITES OR QUILOPERITONEO, A DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE AND A CHALLENGE IN THE CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT FOR THE GENERAL SURGEON: PRESENTATION OF A CASE AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE. Rev. Méd.

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.

Keywords : chilosa ascites; thoraco-abdominal surgery; fistula; nutrition.
