Of 215 patients who underwent renal transplantations at the Mayo Clinic, six (2.8 percent) developed perirenal lymphoceles. Diagnosis was made between 5 weeks and 14 months after operation. In all six patients, renal function decreased and eventually a lower quadrant abdominal mass developed.
Eight lymphoceles were encountered in 232 renal transplant procedures. The patients presented with either a palpable pelvic mass, ipsilateral leg pain and edema, or deteriorating renal function. Two patients were asymptomatic. The diagnosis is readily established by a combination of intravenous
Retroperitoneal pelvic lymphoceles are one of the most common complications following renal transplantation, and usually present with a palpable mass, ipsilateral leg edema, hydronephrosis caused by ureteral obstruction, decreased renal function and cutaneous lymphatic fistula. However, lymphocele
Three cases of lymphoceles after renal transplantation are described. The value of ultrasound is stressed in making the diagnosis, totally delineating the size, following the progression, evaluating the transplanted kidney for secondary hydronephrosis, and localizing the lymphocele for aspiration.
Lymphocele is a well-known complication of kidney transplantation. Patients usually present with deteriorating renal function, hydronephrosis, a nontender lower abdominal mass or ipsilateral leg edema. Urinary retention, however, is an unusual presentation of lymphocele. We herein report a case of a
Six pelvic lymphoceles occurred in a series of 88 renal transplants. All of the patients had ipsilateral leg edema and one-half had a urinary tract infection and/or pain. Displacement of the urinary bladder away from the kidney with or without some degree of ureteral obstruction was diagnostic.
Of 165 renal transplanted patients, three (1.8%) developed a pelvic lymphocele. Decreased renal function, leg edema, a lower quadrant abdominal mass and fluid retention represented suspicion as the possibility of lymph collection in the perirenal space. Excretory urography associated with pelvic
Lymphocele is a most common surgical complication following renal transplantation. The indication for treatment is given when the lymphocele becomes symptomatic. We succeeded in laparoscopically deroofing large lymphoceles in nine patients that were causing ureter compression in eight and
Lymphoceles are the most common renal peritransplant collections. They typically develop and progress within 6 months of transplantation. Clinical presentation is varied and includes azotemia, lower extremity edema, fever, weight gain, tenderness over the allograft, palpable mass, and thromboembolic
BACKGROUND
In a retrospective study, we evaluated the frequency, clinical presentation, and management of lymphocele in kidney transplant recipients operated on in a single center.
METHODS
Between September 1984 and June 2005, we had 2147 kidney transplantations from living donors. During the
OBJECTIVE
To report the case and the iconography of a lymphocele after renal transplantation and to review the literature about the diagnosis and treatment of this surgical complication.
METHODS

Two patients developed massive pelvic lymphoceles within 30 days of retroperitoneal node dissection for staging of prostatic cancer. Excised lymph nodes were negative for metastases. Both patients developed severe bilateral peripheral edema, and one developed pulmonary thromboembolism from
An important use of lymphoscintigraphy is to evaluate extremity edema. Lymphoscintigraphy has many advantages over contrast lymphangiography in these patients. We report an unusual case of lymphocele of the left upper chest wall which was discovered incidentally during lymphoscintigraphic evaluation
Formation of lymphocele secondary to transection of lymphatic channels during surgical procedures or traumas is relatively common and is reported in the postoperative period of approximately 30% of lymph node resection procedures. The condition may be asymptomatic or can present with complications
