Three cases of dilated abdominal left paraaortic lymphatic duct are described. The diagnosis was established by means of sonography and confirmed with lymphography in all three patients. A sonographically guided puncture of the lymphatic duct was performed in one patient. Dilatation of these lymphatic ducts was possibly the consequence of previous upper abdominal surgery in two patients and a coronary bypass operation in one.
