PYLEPHLEBITIS INCIDENTALLY FOUND ON A PATIENT WITH GASTRIC CANCER

Pylephlebitis is a suppurative infection of the portal vein. This rare condition is most often related to intra-abdominal infections like appendicitis or acute diverticulitis. We present an incidentally found case of pylephlebitis in a patient who presented to the emergency department with unspecific symptoms and a recent diagnosis of gastric cancer.
