    Author: Miller C, Mazzaferro V, Makowka L, ChapChap P, Demetris J, Tzakis A, Esquivel CO, Iwatsuki S, Starzl TE.
    Journal: Surgery; 1988 Apr; 103(4):490-5. PubMed ID: 3281302.
    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.
