Successful lymphatic embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for postoperative lymphorrhea in a patient with renal pelvic cancer

We present a successful case of percutaneous lymphatic embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for postoperative lymphorrhea in a patient with urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis. A 75-year-old man with urothelial carcinoma of left renal pelvis with para-aortic lymph nodes metastases. The...

Sumario:We present a successful case of percutaneous lymphatic embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for postoperative lymphorrhea in a patient with urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis. A 75-year-old man with urothelial carcinoma of left renal pelvis with para-aortic lymph nodes metastases. The patient presented severe lymphorrhea after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by laparoscopic total left nephroureterectomy and lymph nodes dissection. Since conservative treatments were ineffective, percutaneous lymphatic embolization using NBCA resulted in healing of the lymphorrhea without recurrence. Percutaneous lymphatic embolization using NBCA followed by intranodal lymphography is a powerful treatment option for intractable postoperative lymphorrhea after lymph nodes dissection.
