[Neoplastic portal vein thrombosis and hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer. A rare association].
It is rare for portal vein thrombosis to complicate colorectal liver metastases. However malignant portal vein thrombosis must be anticipated when considering hepatic resection. While this finding may influence long-term survival, it does not absolutely contraindicate hepatic resection. We report here a case of colorectal metastasis to the liver with associated macroscopic malignant portal vein thrombosis treated with hepatic resection; the patient is free from recurrence at 5-year follow-up.
