Lymphoceles are a well-known complication of renal transplant surgery
and can be asymptomatic or present with a variety of symptoms and comp
lications. We describe a patient who presented with a Pasteurella mult
ocida infection of a lymphocele which occurred 3 weeks after a course
of penicillin for a cat bite and 10 months after a renal transplant ne
phrectomy, We also will review the incidence, predisposing factors, or
igin, symptomatology, diagnosis, complications, and treatments of post
-renal transplant lymphoceles.
