Abstract
We report a rare case of chyluria in a patient from an area not endemic to filariasis. Initial surgical treatment consisted of stripping of the renal pedicle, following which the patient was free of symptoms for 3 months. Recurrence was noted and renal autotransplantation was performed. Chyluria has not recurred 12 months after the second operation. The etiology and various treatments of chyluria are discussed.
