Abstract
Chyluria is usually due to parasitic infection with Wuchereria bancrofti. N onparasitic chyluria can be due to trauma, tuberculosis, surgery, for examp le aortoiliac bypass grafting, tumor or congenital lymphatic anomalies. We report a case of chyluria due to a lymphatic ureteral fistula after radical nephrectomy and lymphadenectomy. The fistula was treated successfully with ureteral occlusion using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.
