Lymphangiographic Visualization of Pleural and Pulmonary Lymphatics in a Patient Without Chylothorax

Pulmonary lymphatic visualization during lymphangiography was demonstrated without evident abnormality of the lymphatic system. Such visualization has not heretofore been reported in the absence of chylothorax. Filling from the thoracic duct via the inferior pulmonary ligaments and from the basal pleural lymphatics to the pulmonary lymphatics is the probable direction of flow.
