Introduction:
Lymphocele occurs frequently after regional lymph node dissection. Surgery with multiple lymphatic ligation represents the only reliable treatment for long-standing chronic lymphocele.
Materials And Surgical Technique:
We report the case of a man with chronic axillary seroma after axillary lymphadenectomy for melanoma. The lymphocele was unresponsive to conservative management and successfully treated with indocyanine green lymphography-guided video-assisted axillary surgery.
Discussion:
Indocyanine green-enhanced fluorescence video-assisted identification and ligation of lymph vessels can simply and effectively treat recurrent chronic lymphocele after axillary or groin lymphadenectomy.

Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
