Extensive calcifications in portal venous system in a patient with hepatocarcinoma

Figure 1 Plain abdominal radiography revealed linear and track-like calcification. A: Abdominal plain film showing well-defined linear and track-like calcification, with irregular margins directed along the course of the portal vein; B: Computed tomography (CT) scan showing speckled calcifications in the esophageal vein; C: Linear calcification along the portal vein wall and globular calcification around the lesser curvature of stomach were found on CT images; D: CT scan revealed speckled calcification along the left wall of the superior mesenteric vein; E: Dense calcifications along the splenic vein were present on axial CT imaging.

Figure 2 Tree structure of the calcified portal vein was clearly demonstrated. A: The tree structure of calcified portal vein was particularly well seen on digital subtraction angiography; B: Multiple tumor staining was demonstrated clearly in the arterial phase of selective celiac arteriography.
