A J Simpson, and H Amer

A case of intestinal lymphangiectasia, limited to a small segment of jejunum, is reported. This finding reflects part of the spectrum of generalized dysplasia of the lymphatic system. A discussion of the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and roentgen features of intestinal lymphangiectasia as part of a systemic disorder is presented.
