Abstract
Intrahepatic and extrahepatic lymphatic vessels were opacified by the intraparenchymal injection of contrast material during percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in 5 patients with cirrhosis and 1 patient with chronic, active hepatitis. The lymphatic channels had a beaded, irregular appearance. They converged in the region of the liver hilus and extended outside the boundaries of the liver to the region of the T12 vertebral body. The location and the roentgenographic appearance of these lymphatic channels should distinguish them from biliary ducts and hepatic vessels.Keywords
