Histiocytic sarcoma presenting with chylous ascites in a 7-month-old infant: a case report.
We describe in this report what we believe to be the first report of a rare presentation of a very rare tumor, especially in this age group. We highlight the importance of early consideration of malignancy as a cause of chylous ascites in infancy and we discuss different causes of chylous ascites.
