<jats:p><jats:bold>Abstract: </jats:bold> We report a case of recurrent inguinal lymphocele formation after inguinal lymphadenectomy treated by lymphographic mapping and selective ligation of the lymphatic vessels. Lymphographic mapping was performed by puncturing a lymphatic vessel at the dorsum of the foot. After isolating the vessels that drained into the lymphocele, they were clipped and divided through a small skin incision. The described technique showed an instant and complete suspension of the lymph secretion with subsequent complete healing. Lymphatic mapping and selective ligation of afferent lymphatic vessels proved to be an effective treatment of a recurrent inguinal lymphocele.</jats:p>
