Portal vein thrombosis following percutaneous ethanol injection therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Percutaneous ethanol injection therapy was performed in a 66-year-old woman with hepatocellular carcinoma. She developed portal vein thrombosis that on color Doppler revealed no tumor vascular signal, and so was diagnosed as non-tumor thrombus. The thrombus resolved over 3 months.
