Popis: We present the case of a 45-year-old man who had presented with ubiquitous chylous reflux that manifested as a bilateral inguinal chylous cutaneous fistula and a voluminous right cervical chylous cyst. He had difficulty breathing owing to compression of the airway. Anastomosis of the chylous cyst wall with the external jugular vein was performed using a valvular vein segment to prevent blood reflux. Postoperatively, anticoagulant therapy was initiated. We found this derivative surgical procedure to be an effective and minimally invasive technique for complex lymphatic anomalies.
