    Chylous ascites, a rare complication after testicular tumor surgery, can be diagnosed by analyzing abdominal fluid. Treatment involves a special diet and medication to manage fluid buildup.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Lymph node dissection is a common procedure for testicular tumors.
    • Chylous ascites is a potential, though uncommon, postoperative complication.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of chylous ascites following lymph node dissection for testicular cancer are detailed.
    • Diagnostic analysis of paracentesis fluid revealed characteristic fat globules, positive Sudan III staining, lymphocyte predominance, and high fat content.

    Findings:

    • The presented cases highlight the diagnostic criteria for chylous ascites.
    • Successful management was achieved using a medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) diet, furosemide, and salt restriction.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This case series emphasizes the importance of recognizing chylous ascites post-lymphadenectomy.
  • The described therapeutic approach offers a viable strategy for managing this complication in testicular cancer patients.
