%X Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that can affect virtually any organ. Chylous ascites as a presenting manifestation of SLE has been described in a handful of cases in adults. However, to the best of our knowledge this presentation has never been reported in the pediatric age group. Podocytopathy in SLE was initially considered to be a chance association. However, more recently it has been suggested that minimal change disease is not only a chance association; it is part of the lupus nephritis spectrum
