No: No. There are lots of medical terms using the suffix "-cele" and they are frequently confused and inappropriately used. A lymphocele is a unique lesion which typically comes about from the disruption of lymphatic pathways following surgery or injury. It is a collection of lymph fluid which fails to be absorbed internally. They can become infected, but are rarely caused by an infection.
