Abstract

Chyle leak following oncological breast and axillary surgery is a rare complication with small number of reported cases in the literature and little formal guidance regarding management. We present a review of the current literature and further related guidance from other specialties, along with suggested strategies for identification, diagnosis and management of this uncommon but potentially significant complication.
