Abstract
Portal vein aneurysm, especially that of the extrahepatic portal vein, is a very rare entity. We recently observed a case of aneurysm at the junction of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein which a ccompanied lupoid hepatitis. Abdominal ultrasonography, color Doppler ultrasonography, abdominal computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonanc e imaging (MRI), and angiography revealed a portal vein aneurysm that increased in size after a period of about 10 months.
