Abstract
Portal hypertension was observed in a 17-year-old girl with urticaria pigmentosa since 2 months of age. Liver biopsies showed portal and sinusoidal infiltration with mast cells although spleen biopsies showed only fibrosis. CONCLUSION. Portal hypertension is a complication of systemic mastocytosis that can lead to death. Treatment with interferon alpha might be effective.Entities:
