Noonan syndrome is characterised by a Turner‐like phenotype and a normal karyotype.
Although it is reported to be associated with abnormalities of the lymphatic system,
involvement of the pulmonary lymphatics is rare. We present a case of Noonan syndrome
where a whole body scintigraphy revealed lymphangiectasia of the lower extremities,
abdomen and lungs.(Int J Clin Pract 2000; 54 (4): 274‐276)
