Patient Data
Fluid equivalent signal cystic structure measuring 4.5 x 5 x 6 cm between left iliac vessels and urinary bladder, consistent with lymphocele.
No evidence of local recurrence.

Lymphoceles are collections of lymphatic fluid that happen most frequently in the postoperative setting. Although they can occur in potentially any part of the body where lymphatic tissue is resected (e.g. lymphadenectomy) or injured in trauma, they are most commonly seen in the retroperitoneum.
