Cutaneous chylous reflux.
Two cases of cutaneous chylous reflux are described. Both patients had many translucent white vesicles from which milk-like fluid wept intermittently. Lymphangiogram revealed dilated, tortuous lymphatic vessels and dermal backflow. Electron microscopic studies showed an abnormal ultrastructure of the dilated lymphatics.
