Peking Union Medical College Hospital, China.

Lymphatic complications in the groin from inguinal artery surgery include lymphoceles and lymphocutaneous fistulae. Lymphatic fistula between the peritoneal cavity and the scrotum developed in a patient after excision of a cavernous lymphangioma in the inguinal region. The communication was demonstrated by Tc-99m antimony sulfate lymphoscintigraphy.
