Arterioportal fistula in hepatocellular carcinoma.
A hepatic arterioportal fistula was visualized in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma by sequential computed tomography (CT) after rapid bolus injection of contrast medium. Early contrast staining was demonstrated in the trunk and branches of the portal vein. The CT findings corresponded with those of celiac angiography.
