초록

림프액이 복강 내에 축적되어 발생하는 복수를 유미복수라고 한다. 유미복수가 발생하는 원인 질환의 60~70%는 간경변증, 울혈성심부전 또는 림프종 등의 악성 종양이다. 드물게 결핵성 복막염도 보고되고 있다. 따라서 유미복수를 주소로 젊은 가임기 여성이 내원하는 경우 림프종, 난소암 또는 결핵 등을 우선적으로 고려하게 된다. 그러나 저자 등은 점진적인 복부팽만을 주소로 내원한 26세의 여자 환자에서 복수천자 검사, 상부위장관내시경, 대장내시경 및 복강경 검사 소견으로 유미복수를 동반한 자궁내막증으로 진단하였다. 그 동안 다량의 복수를 동반하는 자궁내막증에 대해서는 드물게 보고된 바 있으나, 유미복수를 동반한 자궁내막증에 대한 보고는 없었다. 이에 저자들은 유미복수를 동반한 자궁내막증으로 진단되고, 생식샘자극호르몬분비호르몬작용제(GnRH agonist) 및 이뇨제 치료로 호전된 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Chylous ascites is the extravasation into the peritoneal cavity of milky chyle that is rich in triglycerides. Sixty to seventy percent of chylous ascites cases are caused by cirrhotic liver disease, congestive heart failure, or malignancy. The most common malignancy associated with chylous ascites is lymphoma. Rarely, tuberculosis has been reported as a cause of chylous ascites. Appropriately, lymphoma, ovarian cancer or tuberculosis is considered first in the differential diagnosis when a young woman of reproductive age presents with chylous ascites. Recently, we examined a 26-year-old woman who visited our hospital because of abdominal distension. Ascites tapping, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy and diagnostic laparoscopic biopsy led to a diagnosis of intraperitoneal endometriosis with chylous ascites. To date, some cases of endometriosis complicated by massive ascites have been reported. However, endometriosis complicated by chylous ascites has not been previously reported. The case was successfully treated using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and diuretics.
