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.
淋巴管瘤是某些外科手术后常见的并发症。钝性创伤偶尔也会导致类似的淋巴液积聚。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名患者因被倒下的树枝钝性创伤后，右侧腹股沟出现淋巴管瘤。抽吸和硬化治疗均未成功，病变最终需要手术切除。对于创伤后囊性肿胀，应将淋巴管瘤视为一种罕见的鉴别诊断，其治疗应遵循与手术后淋巴管瘤治疗相似的指导原则。
