“…The latter includes the formation of ''spherules'', which appear in cystic-like spaces, known as ''parent bodies''. Foreign body-type giant cells and eosinophilic infiltrates may be present [7].…”

“…There is only one case series dealing with hepatic myospherulosis 7. However, these cases occurred after embolisation of the portal vein, and myospherulosis was located in hepatic veins rather than in liver parenchyma.…”

“…The glue and ethiodized oil deposited along the left pleura then induced parietal pleural inflammation, as the glue can induce an intense inflammatory reaction and the metabolized ethiodized oil, in the form of inorganic iodine and fatty acid, can also induce eosinophilic inflammation. [23][24][25][26] The risk of reflux or systemic embolization of NBCA-ethiodized oil mixture may also increase when the injected volume of the embolized material is increased. 10 Treatment guidelines for symptomatic pleuropulmonary complications of glue embolization are primarily conservative, using analgesia and oxygen as required.…”

Pleuropulmonary complications after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for treatment of esophagogastric varices are not uncommon but are usually mild and self-limited. Herein we report a male patient with liver cirrhosis who underwent endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, using a mixture of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and ethiodized oil for obliteration of gastric varices. After the procedure, he developed moderate amount of left pleural effusion that persisted for a period of time and required thoracentesis and medical treatment. We believed that the inadvertent retrograde reflux of the embolized glue and ethiodized oil via the portosystemic venous collateral into the left pleura might be the possible mechanism for the development of left pleural effusion as the droplets of ethiodized oil were seen along the left pleura on the imaging studies.
