Having the appearance, consistency, or characteristics of chyle; resembling chyle in form or nature.
From Latin 'chylus' + '-form' (having the shape or form of). Used in medical descriptions to indicate when a fluid or substance looks like or behaves like chyle.
Chyle itself is already weird—it's milky-white, fatty, and nothing like regular digestive juices—so calling something 'chyliform' tells doctors 'this is the strange stuff we're looking for!' when diagnosing problems.
