How To Treat Large Retroperitoneal Lymphocele Which Is Insinuated Around Aorta, Pelvis And Rectum?

I can not find a Dr who is experienced in a large retroperitoneal lymphocele (or possibly a lymphangioma or psuedo cyst) measuring 25cm by 10cm by 5cm which is insinuated around the aorta and vasulature as well as into to the pelvis and rectum. I have been to the University Medical Center in Tucson, Az, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Glendale, Az and the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Az. I have done a lot of my own research on line and it is very rare. Can you help me?

HI. AS YOU RIGHTLY SAY- this is a very rare case- so how can one get an experienced surgeon ? I hope this has been well investigated with MRI / CT and may a study like lymphangiogram or so. I would advise to visit a senior Cardio-thoracic Surgeon , who with some innovating ideas like shunting or putting in a venous bypass graft or so can help you.... All the best . Please let us know more so that we can help and guide you more. Id this causing you any symptoms ? Was there any causative reason like an accident, trauma or so. I hope you have been well investigated to rule out cancer/ any obstructing pathology in the thorax or neck area.
