Abstract:
Hepatic oil embolism following lymphography is reported in a 68-year-old man admitted for chylous ascites associated with recurrent prostatic carcinoma. Abdominal plain radiography, CT, and ultimately liver biopsy strongly support a direct lymphatic pathway and are against the role of lymphaticovenous anastomoses generally advocated to explain this phenomenon.
