Abstract

Lymphoscintigraphy is an established modality for imaging the lymphatic system using radiocolloids and is routinely indicated to find the cause of limb lymphedema. However, in this case series, we are highlighting other less-known indications of lymphoscintigraphy like chylothorax and chyluria which present as lymphatic leaks in the thorax and abdomen, respectively. Once the site of the lymphatic leak is established by lymphoscintigraphy, definitive management like thoracic duct ligation or sclerotherapy can be done. The other indication discussed is postrenal transplant perinephric fluid collection which can be challenging to confirm whether it is urinoma, lymphocele, or any other collection. And finally, sentinel lymph node localization is another, now, well-established indication of lymphoscintigraphy.

淋巴管造影 - 超越淋巴水肿。
淋巴管造影是一种使用放射性胶体对淋巴系统进行成像的成熟方法,通常用于查找肢体淋巴水肿的原因。不过,在本病例系列中,我们将重点介绍其他鲜为人知的淋巴管造影适应症,如乳糜胸和乳糜尿,它们分别表现为胸部和腹部的淋巴漏。一旦通过淋巴管造影确定了淋巴漏的部位,就可以采取胸导管结扎或硬化剂注射等明确的治疗措施。讨论的另一个适应症是肾移植后肾周积液,要确认它是尿瘤、淋巴囊还是其他积液很有难度。最后,前哨淋巴结定位是淋巴管造影的另一个成熟适应症。
