What is infected lymphocele?
A lymphocele is a collection of lymph that appears as a swollen bump somewhere on the body. It is infrequent, but is a possible complication after a surgery such as a lymphadenectomy (removal of lymph nodes). It can also become infected if it contains bacterial pathogens.
