Abstract:
Complication of chyle leakage is rare post mastectomy, ranging from 0.36 – 0.84%. This case report discuses a
rare case of chylous leakage post mastectomy in a 79-year-old female. The complication was suspected when the
draining colour of axillary drainage change from serous fluid to milky colour, diagnosis then confirmed clinically
and biochemically as chyle. The patient was initially managed conservatively, but this was not successful and was
referred to an interventional radiology for lymphangiogram and embolization. Percutaneous lipiodol embolization
was performed with immediate success.
