Abstract

Tumor thrombus in the portal vein secondary to advanced gastric cancer was diagnosed by ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT), and was confirmed at autopsy in a 54-year-old man. The register data for 3176 patients of resected gastric cancer disclosed that there was no patient with portal tumor thrombus secondary to gastric cancer.
