Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The number and content of dilated splenic hilar lymph vessels were examined in patients with and without congestion of the spleen. Sections from 10 patients without congestion showed no dilated lymph vessels. Sections from 7 patients with congestion all showed an increased number of dilated lymph vessels many of which contained red blood cells. One other patient who died after portal decompression demonstrated normal lymph vessels.
