Abstract

Purpose: Describe the technique and evaluate imaging results of the fluoroscopic inguinal intranodal lymphangiography technique.
Subjects and methods: Case series study on 37 patients, all were done fluoroscopic inguinal intranodal lymphangiogram.
Results: The study was conducted on 37 patients (11 men, 26 women), mean age, 56. The technique was successful in all patients (100%), detected anatomic variants of lymphatic central in 30% of patients, leak point 31/37 cases accounting for 84%. The average time to observe the target lymph vessel was 35.3 ± 20.2 minutes.
Conclusions: fluoroscopic inguinal intranodal lymphangiography is a safe procedure, provides visualization of central lymphatic anatomy, detected leak points, and guides for percutaneous lymphatic interventions.
