Idiopathic portal hypertension and angiosarcoma associated with arsenical salts therapy

C Dueñas et al. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

We describe a 60-year-old man with idiopathic portal hypertension and hepatic angiosarcoma. The patient had taken an arsenical preparation for the treatment of psoriasis for 10 years. Five cases of this association have been reported previously; in one only, exposure to arsenical salts was present.
