蛋白質喪失性腸管症は免疫不全症として発症することがある．本報告では，リンパ腸瘻による蛋白質喪失性腸症の稀な原因と，既存の単光子放出型コンピュータ断層撮影/コンピュータ断層撮影リンパシンチグラフィを組み合わせた新しい画像診断法が診断にどのように役立ったかを紹介した．

Protein losing enteropathy can present as an immunodeficiency. This report describes a rare cause of protein losing enteropathy due to a lymphoenteric fistula and how a novel use of a pre-existing combined imaging technique of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography lymphoscintigraphy helped in making the diagnosis.
