A 72-year-old man underwent endovenous treatment of the right great saphenous vein using radiofrequency ablation (RFA). On day 7 postoperation, he noticed a tumor on the medial aspect of his thigh around the puncture site. Ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic lesion in the subcutaneous space. Incision and drainage under local anesthesia on day 10 revealed lymph fluid, and the tumor was diagnosed as lymphocele. On the day 27, only lymphocele was resolved with wound treatment.
