Abstract

We report a case of malignant lymphoma presenting with tumor thrombus of the portal venous system. Computed tomography showed a mass in the portal vein and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Filling defects in the dilated portal vein also were identified by angiography. This type of the lymphoma is extremely rare, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of portal vein thrombus.
