Abstract

We present an 11 year old boy who developed collateral vessels in the portal hepatis with non-visualization of the portal vein 9 months after treatment for large cell lymphoma. This "cavernous transformation of the portal vein" may lead to varices with subsequent gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
