外傷後骨盆腔淋巴囊腫：病例報告

Abstract

The development of pelvic lymphocele is usually a complication following renal transplantation as well as pelvic lymphadenectomy for gynecologic or urologic cancers. Pelvic lymphocele after blunt trauma is rare described before. Asymptomatic patients are managed with observation and follow-up imaging studies. Symptomatic lymphoceles need to be treated by means of percutaneous needle aspiration or drainage. We reported a case of low back pain after a fall with delayed onset of ispilateral thigh swelling. Computed tomography revealed a fluid-filled mass in the pelvis. After treatment by CT-guided percutaneous aspiration, all symptoms rapidly resolved without recurrent symptoms in 6 months follow-up.
