Abstract:
Lymphangiomatosis is a rare malformation of the lymphatic system that causes severe symptoms secondary to progressive growth into or close to vital structures. A case report of liver failure related to this space-occupying intrahepatic mechanism is taken as a starting point for a discussion of the problems of liver transplantation related to large hepatomegalies.
