Abstract

This is the first case report comparing endoscopic images of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) over 10 years. Regular endoscopic examination is essential in PIL because endoscopic findings do not correlate well with clinical manifestations.

Keywords: long term; primary intestinal lymphangiectasia; total colonoscopy.
