Inadvertent bucrylate pulmonary embolization: a case report.
Detection of small, dense, rectangular opacities that follow the course of pulmonary vessels on chest radiographs should raise the suspicion of a prior therapeutic occlusion of the blood supply of a mass or of an arteriovenous fistula elsewhere with embolization of the occlusive material to the lungs.
