Portal vein aneurysm: report of two cases.
Portal vein aneurysm is a rare entity. We present two cases of extrahepatic portal vein aneurysms, which were incidentally discovered in patients with no evidence of liver disease. Those were assumed to be congenital lesions. Diagnosis was made by Doppler ultrasound. Both patients were managed expectantly.
