The appearances of renal transplant lymphocoeles during dynamic renal scintigraphy.
Eight patients are described in whom transplant lymphocoeles were drained. All had 99Tcm-DTPA dynamic renal scintigrams performed pre-operatively; five showed features of obstruction. Photon deficient areas on the scintigrams and bladder deformities were of particular value in detecting lymphocoeles.
