title: Pedal radiocolloid lymphoscintigraphy in demonstration of a post-surgical lymphatic leak.
abstract: Radiocolloid lymphoscintigraphy is a very effective diagnostic procedure for dynamic evaluation of lymphatic flow. In this case report, the use of radiocolloid lymphoscintigraphy in detection of a post-surgical lymphatic leak is presented. Dynamic pedal lymphoscintigraphy with Tc 99m-antimony trisulfide colloid clearly demonstrated the site of the leak.
