  • Title: Lymphoscintigraphy using (99m)Tc filtered sulfur colloid in chylothorax: a case report.
    Author: Bybel B, Neumann DR, Kim BY, Amin K, Rice T.
    Journal: J Nucl Med Technol; 2001 Mar; 29(1):30-1. PubMed ID: 11283214.
    Abstract:
    A 66-y-old man was diagnosed with esophageal carcinoma and underwent a right thoracotomy and esophagectomy. Postoperatively, a recurring right pleural effusion developed. Because an attempt at lymphangiography failed, lymphoscintigraphy was suggested. Because of the inability to obtain radiolabeled albumin, dextran, or nanocolloid, we used filtered sulfur colloid. (0.1 um). The study confirmed the diagnosis of chylothorax.
