Portal vein aneurysms are extremely rare, less than 200 cases have been reported until late 2015. They are defined as a portal vein diameter exceeding 19 mm for cirrhotic patients and 15 mm in normal livers. Most patients are asymptomatic, but complications may occur. We report a case of a 68-year-old female admitted for etiological assessment of a portal hypertension revealed by an upper gastro intestinal bleeding, who was incidentally diagnosed with a portal vein aneurysm.
门静脉瘤极为罕见，截至2015年末报告的病例不足200例。门静脉瘤的定义为，肝硬化患者门静脉直径超过19毫米，正常肝脏患者门静脉直径超过15毫米。大多数患者无症状，但可能会出现并发症。我们报告一例68岁女性患者，因上消化道出血提示门静脉高压而入院进行病因评估，在此过程中偶然诊断出患有门静脉瘤。
