Choledochal Cysts in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Choledochal cysts are a rare malformation of the biliary tract with an unknown etiology, predominantly affecting Asians and females.

[Conservative management of postoperative lymphatic fistula].

We describe the case of a diabetic patient who presented with a renal abscess that was surgically managed with nephrectomy. At the forth post-surgical day, the patient showed the presence of a "milky" looking fluid amounting to 1200 ml in 24 h through a Penrose drainage placed in the surgical resection site. After several studies, a diagnosis of lymphatic fistula was made.
