Case presentation reveals chylous ascites in a patient with high-grade lymphoma, suggesting need for prompt evaluation.

To highlight chylous ascites as a rare initial presentation of lymphoma and the implications for management.
Case presentation of a 69-year-old woman with abdominal symptoms and imaging findings of lymphadenopathy.
Diagnostic laparoscopy performed, revealing chylous ascites and subsequent lymph node biopsy confirming high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
Initiated treatment with rituximab monotherapy followed by R-CHOP chemotherapy upon stabilization.
Chylous ascites diagnosed with triglyceride levels of 1361 mg/dL.
Achieved complete metabolic response (Deauville score 2) after six cycles of R-CHOP therapy.
Demonstrated elevated Ki-67 index (>90%) and identified pathogenic mutations in EZH2 and TET2.

Nada et al. (2026) studied this question.
