Abstract
The case of a 28-year-old female patient with portal vein thrombosis m imicking tumour and causing obstructive jaundice is presented. The cav ernous-transformed enlarged portal vein, explaining the mass-like lesi on in the hepatic hilum on ultrasonography, compressed the extrahepati c bile ducts and caused obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde ch olangiography demonstrated multiple nodular extrinsic indentations of the extrahepatic bile ducts with moderately dilated intrahepatic bile ducts.
