Abstract:
Hereditary telangiectasis is an uncommon condition and is thus not usually considered in the differential diagnosis of porta hepatis lymphadenopathy causing biliary tree obstruction. The present case illustrates a patient in whom tortuous vessels in the porta hepatis simulated masses on delayed contrast-enhanced CT with subsequent referral for biopsy.
