Use of lymphoscintigraphy in chyluria.
The roentgenographic procedure of choice in delineating lymphatic channels has been lymphangiography. Recently, radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy has been used to outline lymphatics in patients with various lymphatic disorders. We present and compare the results of lymphangiography and lymphoscintigraphy in 2 patients with chyluria. Since the results of lymphoscintigraphy correlated with lymphangiography, the application of this less invasive technique in the diagnosis and management of chyluria may be warranted.
