A very rare case of splenosis and acquired chronic non‐cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis with cavernous transformation

Abstract

Abstract We present a clinical case of a young woman who underwent splenectomy for thrombocytopenic splenomegaly at the age of 7 years. An acute diagnostic picture of splenosis of the left epigastric region and chronic non‐cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis with cavernous transformation was found 20 years later.
