Large lymphoceles resulting from retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy

Abstract

We report 2 case of large lymphoceles resulting from retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The literature is reviewed briefly and management alternatives are discussed. In 1 case disastrous complications ensued during expectant management, which could have been prevented by earlier surgical intervention. Early definitive surgical management for these large lymphoceles using external drainage is recommended.
