title: [Yellow nail syndrome associated with intestinal lymphangiectasia].
abstract: The yellow nail syndrome, a combination of yellow discoloured nails, lymphedema and pleural effusions, is a rare clinical condition. We report a case of the yellow nail syndrome associated with intestinal lymphangiectasia revealed by chylous ascites and protein-losing gastroenteropathy. This association reported in only three cases in the literature leads us to discuss the relations between yellow nail syndrome, primitive intestinal lymphangiectasia and primary lymphatic disorders.
