Lymphoceles are the most frequent surgical complications following kidney transplantation. Symptomatic lymphoceles following kidney transplantation are managed best by surgical marsupialization with intraperitoneal drainage. We performed laparoscopic intraperitoneal drainage in a patient with a large lymphocele and secondary hydronephrosis following a kidney transplant.

Peripelvic lymphatic cyst or the kidney is a rare case in Korean Urological literature. We have experienced a case of it in 30 years old woman who had a palpable fluctuant mass in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. The operated cyst was dark-red colored appearance and filled with amber colored fluid about 800cc. We have removed it together with kidney. The cyst measured 200gm. in weight, 10 x 5 x 4.5 cm in size and 0.5cm thickness of the cystic wall. Histological finding of the cystic wall showed a consisting of endometrial cell underlying tissue was collagen fiber and fibrotic change. The fluid of cyst contained 98 % of lymphatic cell.

A lymphatic cyst of the stomach is rare benign tumor which is composed of thin-walled lymphatic space lined by benign-appearing endothelial cells. It rarely manifests clinical symptoms, so it is found incidentally in most cases. Recently, a case of submucosal lymphatic cyst associated with early gastric cancer was experienced. An endoscopy revealed a slightly elevated, edematous lesion adjacent to the malignant ulcer. This case is herein reported with a brief review of related literature.

A gastric lymphangioma is a rare benign lymphatic vascular tumor that contain chylous or serous material within dilated lymphatic cyst. Its pathogenesis is unknown and in most case is incidentally founded by radiological or endoscopic examination. On gastrofiberscopy a submucosal tumor with normal mucosa is found. Endoscopic ultrasonography has recently become an indispensable tool for differentiating these gastric submucosal tumors. Here a case of gastric lymphangioma is reported in a 71 years old woman who presented with intermittent vomiting and epigastric discomfort for six months. The patients underwent a wedge resection of the stomach, and was discharged with no complications, on the sixth post-operation day.

PURPOSE: We analyzed the incidence and related factors of radiation dermatitis; at first, to recognize whether a decrease in radiation dermatitis is possible or not in breast cancer patients who received radiation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 338 patients, 284 with invasive breast cancer who received breast conservation surgery with radiotherapy at Chonbuk National University Hospital from January 2007 to June 2009 were evaluated. Patients who also underwent bolus, previous contralateral breast irradiation and irradiation on both breasts were excluded. For patients who appeared to have greater than moderate radiation dermatitis, the incidence and relating factors for radiation dermatitis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 207 and 77 patients appeared to have RTOG grade 0/1 or above RTOG grade 2 radiation dermatitis, respectively. The factors found to be statistically significant for the 77 patients who appeared to have greater than moderate radiation dermatitis include the presence of lymphocele due to the stasis of lymph and lymph edema which affect the healing disturbance of radiation dermatitis (p=0.003, p=0.001). Moreover, an allergic reaction to plaster due to the immune cells of skin and the activation of cytokine and concomitant hormonal therapy were also statistically significant factors (p=0.001, p=0.025). CONCLUSION: Most of the breast cancer patients who received radiation therapy appeared to have a greater than mild case of radiation dermatitis. Lymphocele, lymphedema, an allergy to plaster and concomitant hormonal therapy which affect radiation dermatitis were found to be significant factors. Consequently, we should eliminate lymphocele prior to radiation treatment for patients who appear to have an allergic reaction to plaster. We should also instruct patients of methods to maintain skin moisture if they appear to have a greater than moderate case of radiation dermatitis.
