Abstract
An 86-year-old man underwent total penectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND) for penile cancer with an enlarged right inguinal lymph node. The accumulation of 100–150 ml of lymphatic fluid was observed in the right inguinal drain in a day after surgery. Compression was performed, without any improvement in lymphorrhea. During the right inguinal lymphangiography performed on postoperative day (POD) 28, lymphorrhea was still detected. Lymphorrhea was improved 2 days after intranodal glue embolization (IGE) was performed using a mixture of lipiodol and n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate (NBCA). IGE was effective for intractable lymphorrhea after ILND in penile cancer.
