title: [Chylous lymphocele: a rare complication after gastrectomy for primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach].
abstract: Gastrectomy and extensive lymphatic resection were performed in a 55-year-old woman with primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the stomach. Three months later a large perihepatic lymphocele developed. After placement of a catheter under ultrasound control and evacuation of about 5.31 of chylous fluid there was no recurrence or further sequelae. This complication is so rare that it should not be a reason for limited lymphatic resection in malignant disease.
