Visualization of hepatic uptake in both early and delayed lymphoscintigraphy is associated with patient outcomes. Hepatic uptake could represent tracer inflow into the systemic circulation, indicating preservation of the connection between the lymphatic system and the systemic circulation. Physicians should evaluate these findings carefully on lymphoscintigraphy.
