Portal hypertension in systemic mastocytosis.

J P Capron, D Lebrec, C Degott, D Chivrac, B Coevoet, J Delobel.

Abstract

We report the case of a 66-year-old male patient with portal hypertension related to systemic mastocytosis. The liver was enlarged; microscopic examination showed portal mast cell infiltration and fibrosis. Portal hypertension was evidenced by splenomegaly, esophageal varices, and increased wedged-free hepatic venous pressure gradient. Arteriography showed that portal vein was patent. Portal hypertension could be the consequence of intrahepatic block due to mast cell infiltration and/or fibrosis of the liver.
