Abstract
Chyluria presenting as milky white urine is a known presentation. But sudden and recurrent urinary retention without prior history of chyluria is very rare presentation. It also indicates the severity and tendency of passing tissue bits and clots through urine in rare cases. This case was diagnosed because of strong clinical suspicion. This case also highlights the management difficulty in these types of patients as patient had recurrent retention requiring bladder wash & had episodes of chylohematuria with chyle material and clots. This presentation is rare and adds to the list of differential diagnosis of acute retention.
