Computed tomography of hepatic oil embolism following lymphangiography.
Computed tomographic (CT) findings in two cases of hepatic oil embolism following lymphangiography are described. Both patients had lymphatic obstruction and opacification of the liver due to collateral flow of lymphangiographic contrast. Computed tomography of the liver showed a distinctive branching pattern due to the intrahepatic ethiodol.
