Lymphatic cysts, also known as lymphocele, are one of the most common complications after pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection in patients with gynecological cancers. Despite the high incidence of this complication, no specific guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of lymphocele have been developed so far. This article analyzes the incidence of lymphatic cysts, risk factors, and currently available options for their diagnosis and treatment.

Лимфатические кисты, или лимфоцеле – одно из самых частых осложнений тазовой и парааортальной лимфодиссекции у онкогинекологических больных. Несмотря на широкую встречаемость данного осложнения, в современной литературе не определены оптимальные рекомендации по лечению и диагностике лимфоцеле. В статье приводится обсуждение и анализ данных литературы о частоте возникновения лимфатических кист, факторах риска их формирования и существующих методах диагностики и лечения.
