Chyluria is a rare condition resulting from an abnormal connection between the lymphatic and urinary collecting system and is known to occur after partial nephrectomy. We report 2 cases of chyluria in patients after radiofrequency ablation of renal cell carcinoma diagnosed on surveillance computed tomography.
