Abstract
Two cases of chylous ascites following retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy are presented. The first case, a 3‐year‐old girl, underwent a right radical nephrectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for Wilms' tumor. Chylous ascites developed postoperatively and resolved after 3 months of supportive therapy. The second case, a 45‐year‐old woman, underwent a right radical nephrectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for renal carcinoma. Chylous ascites occurred postoperatively and resolved after a single paracentesis. Diagnosis, evaluation, and therapeutic modalities are outlined and the literature is reviewed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
