Use of Pelvic Lymphoscintigraphy to Demonstrate Lymphoid Fluid Leakage in an Ovarian Cancer Patient with Chylous Ascites

Use of Pelvic Lymphoscintigraphy to Demonstrate Lymphoid Fluid Leakage in an Ovarian Cancer Patient with Chylous Ascites

Despite radiotherapy and chemotherapy, chylous ascites occur frequently in patients with ovarian cancer. We report a case of ovarian cancer with massive chylous ascites and describe the use of lymphoscintigraphy to demonstrate pelvic lymph nodes and lymphoid fluid leakage to the pelvic floor.
