Abstract

Chyluria, a symptom that is very rare in the western world, describes the excretion of chyle into the urogenital system. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman with a severe form of nonparasitic chyluria. We were able to detect the fistula due to a newly developed diagnostic combination of Sudan III red with ureterorenoscopy. Prior to this, we had performed a lymphoscintigraphy twice without detecting the lymphorenal fistula, although lymphoscintigraphy is the current diagnostic standard. This is the first case report of severe, nonparasitic chyluria.

Keywords: Chyle; Chyle fistula; Lymphoscintigraphy; Non-parasitic chyluria; Sudan III red.
