Article Title: The sonographic detection of an obstructive pelvic lymphocele
Abstract: Pelvic lymphoceles are collections of leaked lymphatic fluid which can be postsurgical complications. These are most prevalent following a radical prostatectomy with simultaneous pelvic node dissection to address prostate cancer. Although a common occurrence after this type of procedure, a small percentage may cause significant complications, including deep vein thrombosis. This case study demonstrated an obstructive pelvic lymphocele that was incidentally detected with sonography, during a lower extremity venous Doppler examination. © The Author(s) 2023.
