Calcification in the portal vein wall

S R Baker et al. Radiology. 1984 Jul.

Abstract

Calcification in the portal vein is a rare radiologic finding, occurring almost always in patients with portal hypertension. Calcium may be deposited in a thrombus or, as in this patient, in the vein wall. The characteristic position, location, and pattern of portal vein wall calcification permit its diagnosis from radiographs of the abdomen.
