Inguinoscrotal lymphatic reflux detected by lymphoscintigraphy.

We performed lymphoscintigraphy with 99mTc-human serum albumin in a case of suspected lymphedema of the right leg after inguinal lymph node dissection. Dermal backflow of the leg and lymphocele at the inguinal chain were observed, and lymphatic reflux into the scrotum was also delineated. The scintigraphy could demonstrate a persistent lymphatic problem under conservative treatment, and could lead the physician to conduct surgical treatment. Scintigraphic demonstration of the inguinoscrotal lymphatic reflux has not been previously reported.
