Article Synopsis
- A chyle leak is a rare complication that can occur after surgery for breast cancer, specifically following procedures like a tumorectomy.
- A case is presented involving a 78-year-old woman who experienced a chylous leakage after having sentinel lymph nodes removed during breast-conserving surgery for invasive ductal carcinoma.
- After noticing a "milky" drainage fluid and swelling ten days post-surgery, she required a second surgery where a mass ligature was performed, and a drain was placed to manage the complication.
