Uro-lymphatic fistula associated with urolithiasis: A case report

Abstract

Uro-lymphatic fistulas are rare, and involve communication between the renal collecting system and the lymphatic system. The disorder is usually caused by the obstruction of lymphatic vessels due to several diseases, leading to chyluria. Here, we report the case of a patient with a uro-lymphatic fistula, considered to be associated with urolithiasis.
