title: Hepatic oil embolization following lymphangiography. A report of 12 cases.
abstract: The authors report on 12 personal observations of lymphoportal fistulas, which represented 0.24% of their series of lymphographies. This rare complication of lymphography has no clinical or biological liver manifestations. Review of 71 cases in the literature confirmed that hepatic oil embolization only occurs when there are lymphatic masses, with or without associated thrombosis of the inferior vena cava.
