Abstract
Background: Chyluria is usually associated with parasitic disease caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and is rare in non-endemic regions. The management of chyluria varies according to the severity of the condition. This report describes a case of mild chyluria and successful treatment using sclerotherapy. Case description: A 44-year-old man presented with a first episode of painless milky urine. The diagnosis of chyluria was established following retrograde pyelography showing a fistula between the right pelviocalyces and the retroperitoneal lymphatic systems. The patient had not travelled to any endemic regions. Sclerotherapy using povidone-iodine was carried out resulting in closure of the fistula. Conclusion: Sclerotherapy using povidone-iodine as the sclerosing agent was effective and safe for the management of a patient with mild chyluria. However, the best treatment for chyluria should be tailored to the patient’s condition.
