Nombres alternativos

Linfografía; Linfangiografía

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Los ganglios agrandados (ganglios inflamados) que tengan apariencia espumosa pueden ser un signo de cáncer linfático.

Los ganglios o las partes de éstos que no se llenen de material de contraste sugieren la presencia de una obstrucción y pueden ser un signo de cáncer que se está diseminando a través del sistema linfático. La obstrucción de los vasos linfáticos puede ser provocada por un tumor, una infección, una lesión o una cirugía linfática previa.

La persona debe hablar con su médico acerca del significado de los resultados específicos de su examen.
