Abstract
We describe a 60-year-old man with idiopathic portal hypertension and hepatic angiosarcoma. The patient had taken an arsenical preparation f or the treatment of psoriasis for 10 years. Five cases of this associa tion have been reported previously; in one only, exposure to arsenical salts was present.
