title: [Role of imaging techniques in the evaluation of chyluria].
abstract: Lymphoscintigraphy is a first-line imaging technique for the assessment of abnormal lymphatic drainage in chyluria. It can provide information about the site of origin of chyluria, and may be helpful in selecting patients for surgery and assessing treatment efficacy. We report the case of a 59-year-old male with chyluria correctly diagnosed with lymphoscintigraphy.
