title: Use of pelvic lymphoscintigraphy to demonstrate lymphoid fluid leakage in an ovarian cancer patient with chylous ascites.
abstract: 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.
