 AB    An unusual but pathognomonic appearance of chylous ascites was observed
       on computed tomographic (CT) and ultrasound examinations of the abdomen
       in a patient with AIDS and disseminated tuberculosis. The images showed
       gradual development of fat-fluid level in the peritoneal collection when
       the patient maintained a recumbent position. The explanation for this
       phenomenon is provided together with a brief review of pertinent
       literature.
