Chyluria has not been previously reported as being associated with carcinoma of the prostate. The most common cause is lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease. Non-parasitic chyluria is rare. We describe a case of chyluria associated with carcinoma of the prostate. We describe our successful management in this case and highlight how urologists may overcome problematic chyluria in patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
