Abstract
Protein-losing gastroenteropathy is a well-recognized entity in systemic sclerosis, for which several mechanisms have been postulated. Acquired intestinal lymphangiectasia as a cause of increased intestinal protein loss has not previously been described in the literature. We report the first case of acquired intestinal lymphangiectasia in systemic sclerosis.Entities:
