Chyle leak is a very rare complication following an axillary lymph node dissection. We report a case of chyle leak following sentinel lymph node biopsy in a patient with breast cancer with superior vena caval thrombosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of chyle leakage following axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy. We describe the aetiology, prevention and treatment strategy that can be adopted in these patients.
乳糜漏是腋窝淋巴结清扫术后一种非常罕见的并发症。我们报告一例患有上腔静脉血栓形成的乳腺癌患者在进行前哨淋巴结活检后发生乳糜漏的病例。据我们所知,这是首例关于腋窝前哨淋巴结活检后乳糜漏的病例报告。我们描述了这些患者中可采用的病因、预防和治疗策略。
