Urinoma and urinothorax: report of a case

Luciano Izzo et al. Am Surg. 2008 Jan.

Abstract

The case of a 47-year-old female who presented with urinoma and urinothorax due to left ureteral calculus obstruction is reported. The left kidney was surgically resected, while the urinothorax was evacuated by therapeutic thoracentesis, which resulted in withdrawal of 18 liters of straw-colored pleural fluid.
