Abstract:
Six cirrhotic patients underwent ultrasound scans in the course of their disease because of clinical deterioration. Ultrasonography revealed the presence of carcinoma as well as dilatation of the portal vein with hypoechogenic masses in its lumen. The presence of thrombi was confirmed by other techniques such as CAT and/or arteriography.
