Abstract

We report a case of peritransplant lymphocele that developed 11 years after the patient received the first renal graft. Initially, treatment was by percutaneous punction-aspiration and povidone-iodine sclerosis. The important (congruent to 3 liters/day) persistent fluid collection prompted us to resort to surgery (marsupialization) which achieved good results.
