Abstract

Lymphocele occurs as a result of persistent leakage of disrupted lymphatics. Peripancreatic lymphocele is quite rare and has not yet been described in the literature. Here we report on a case of peripancreatic lymphocele in which a cystic mass was observed with a fat attenuating component using computed tomography after gastrectomy.
