Lymphoceles are common complications after certain surgical procedures. Blunt trauma can occasionally result in similar lymph accumulation. Herein, we present the rare case of a patient who developed a lymphocele in his right groin following a blunt trauma from a fallen tree branch. Aspiration and sclerotherapy were unsuccessful, and the lesion ultimately required surgical excision. Lymphoceles should be considered a rare differential diagnosis for post-traumatic cystic swelling, and their management should follow similar guidelines to those used for post-surgical lymphocele management.
