title: Pylephlebitis in patient with covered perforated rectosigmoid cancer.
abstract: Acute portal vein thrombosis and septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein represent serious, although rare cases in the non-cirrhotic population. The authors present a case report, in which nonspecific clinical and CT scan findings led to the difficult diagnosis of pylephlebitis due to perforated rectosigmoid cancer.
